Thanks for all of this good information. I'm going to take a user education 
approach here and try to get the small group users doing this to rewrite their 
job processing to use batch mode submissions, or use DRMAA. Speaking of DRMAA, 
we've also had badly implemented DRMAA clients written which create a new 
session for every job, only because the developers did not understand that a 
single DRMAA connection to the master can submit/control lots of jobs. Again, 
this is more of a user education issue.

I think if it's possible, adding more granular control over this would be very 
helpful. Being able to write a server side JSV which could enforce a per user 
limit would be great. Even better would be to have the ability to limit these 
connections per user as a qmaster_params option, similar to the cluster wide 
MAX_DYN_EC limit (e.g. USER_MAX_DYN_EC). 

Thanks again,
Ron

No, it's not treated, so you can't check for -sync.  It's  in the
realeased sh and tcl includes as if it was treated, though I don't think that
causes problems apart from confusion if you looked in the jsv_include
file.
