Hi John-
Many people do use PBS... even for non parallel jobs, just to have a batch system (good for sharing amongst many users). Maui is not exclusive to PBS. Maui should be running as well, as it handles the scheduling intelligence. PBS has admin documentation available on www.openpbs.org if you create a login account there. It's very detailed, and will be some serious reading.
So if I understand you correctly, your jobs are in the Q state and not running?
Here's what to check:
qstat (look at the job states)
service maui status (make sure the scheduler is running)
pbsnodes -a (shows node status... are enough of them free?)
Let me know how that goes, and we'll continue.
Jeremy

Hi all - Please forgive my newbie PBS questions. If there is a better place to post them, please let me know. I was attempting to run a few executables in a shellscript, one a part of the OSCAR test_cluster, and another a command for an executable of ours. For a while, the OSCAR part ran fine as I played around with some variables in an attempt to get our executable to run. Now, nothing runs - the jobs are just sitting there in the que (visible when qstat is run). I have tried: qstop, then pbs_server, qstart, and anything else from the varied and mysterious command list of PBS, but the jobs just sits there. Any suggestions would be appreciated.If anyone has any suggestions about where to find a decent how-to for PBS I would be eternally grateful (Jeremy - your slides were awesome for the big-picture, but the nitty gritty is eluding me still). I would also love to hear if people are actually using this, or whether I should be using MAUI or something else. For now, I am just trying to get the cluster to run a bunch of non-parallel jobs for us until we can parallelize some things. Thanks in advance, John ------------------------------------ John A.
