Have you tried specifying the QOS like this? qsub -W x=QOS:noht my_script
We've also found we have to have something like these lines in the maui.cfg: SYSCFG QLIST=bigmem,interactive,debug,regress,contingent QOSCFG[bigmem] PRIORITY=1 QFLAGS=PREEMPTOR,RESTARTPREEMPT QOSCFG[interactive] PRIORITY=2 QFLAGS=PREEMPTOR,RESTARTPREEMPT QOSCFG[debug] PRIORITY=1 QOSCFG[regress] PRIORITY=-1 QOSCFG[contingent] PRIORITY=-2 QFLAGS=PREEMPTEE GROUPCFG[users] QDEF=DEFAULT QLIST=bigmem,a1csr,interactive,debug,regress,contingent CLASSCFG[regress] QDEF=contingent Tom Sabuj Pattanayek wrote: > HI, > > I basically have the same problem as described here: > > http://www.supercluster.org/pipermail/mauiusers/2009-April/003817.html > > using torque 2.4.3 and maui 3.2.6p21 .
