We have Torque/Moab running on one cluster and Torque/Maui on another. We encourage our users to use the pmem option to specify their memory requirements in their PBS batch scripts. Is there a way to get the scheduler to enforce these limits? That is, if a job attempts to exceed the pmem value we want the scheduler to kill the job just like it would if it exceeded its walltime. Currently we have a few users who have their jobs exceed their pmem value and the result is trashed nodes because the jobs have consumed too much memory.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
