Thank you for the suggestion using preemption. I managed to get it to work.
However, the "CANCEL" preemption type is not implemented in 3.2.6 although it is mentioned in the user guide: http://www.clusterresources.com/products/maui/docs/8.4preemption.shtml (Table 8.4.2.4) Does any one know if this is in later versions?
