I don't think you can do this with the partition priority, but this kind of thing will work with QOS. You might give that a try. It will give you a bunch more flexibility as well. > > 2. Is there any sacctmgr way to limit the total consumed wall-time?

If you use it on an account all the user accounts inside that account and all its subaccounts will be aggregated. You have to use the priority/multifactor plugin to make it work. see man sacctmgr Danny > > > Thanks, > Daniel >
