Thank you, Garteth. I will dig the archives. The Maui Admin Guide has three DEFER-related parameters: DEFERCOUNT: specifies the number of times a job can be deferred before it will be placed in batch hold; default=24 DEFERSTARTCOUNT: specifies number of time a job will be allowed to fail in its start attempts before being deferred; default=1 and DEFERTIME: specifies amount of time a job will be held in the deferred state before being released back to the Idle job queue; default=1:00:00 (one hour) Since I don't understand clearly how/when a job switches to/from 'deferred' state, I was a bit reluctant to change the first two, for fear of impacting other functionality. I simply reduced the DEFERTIME to one minute. It works, but I don't know if it is the best practice. Best, Gus _______________________________________________ mauiusers mailing list [email protected] http://www.supercluster.org/mailman/listinfo/mauiusers
