thanks - this was my line of thinking as well, just wanted to check with you 
guys that there isn't anything else I'm missing.

We can certainly enforce the expiry of limits with setting GrpCPUMins=0 via 
cronjob, but we also need a command to display allocation dates/sizes/expiry 
etc. Looks like something we need to script around SLURM :)

cheers,

Maciej
