You want to prevent more than 5 jobs per user from being accepted into the queue? Maui can only schedule, it can't reject jobs. The queue management is in the torque. 'man pbs_queue_attributes'. You want max_user_queuable or perhaps max_queuable. As an aside, for edits to maui.cfg, only restart the maui daemon. For changes in qmgr, don't restart anything. -- Garrick Staples, GNU/Linux HPCC SysAdmin University of Southern California Life is Good!
