Dear Phil, thanks a lot for Your help! I tried to configure shared access on the reservations, but it does not work, i.e. whenever there is a job wating in the nightly queue and I submit a job into the regular queue, it is getting queued and showstart tells me that this job is getting startet after the next nightly time frame. It seems that shared access is not properly working when there a jobs waiting, because these jobs are generating reservations on the nodes.
Actually I´d like to prefer a solution based on reservations, because backfill should be working then. In the solution Jim suggested (based on qmgr and cron) there is a time period when there is no job getting started anymore, even if he walltime is very short. Thanks again!
