When I get 3 jobs running, I cannot add a 4th to the queue. It will not acknowledge it. I checked the maui config file, and it has a max number of jobs set to 8. I have copied the output of these commands below.
Thanks again for all your help, Ben Simmons [bdsimmns@jupiter cluster]$ qstat Job id Name User Time Use S Queue ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- -------- - ----- 76.jupiter se_V3e-5_M1e-3 bdsimmns 09:31:59 R workq 77.jupiter se_V3e-5_M2e-3 bdsimmns 09:32:05 R workq [bdsimmns@jupiter cluster]$ sepbs V3e-5_M3e-3 PBS: Now Executing SurfaceEvolver, case= V3e-5_M3e-3 82.jupiter.cfd.me.memphis.edu Script completed-Your job is running!
