I've added a default queue time: s_rt 168:00:00 h_rt 172:00:00 so know backfilling could work I submit a parallel job with "-R y" and many single jobs without -R (default is n), but the job never starts... I cannot see if any reservation if there cause schedule file is empty (yesterday I changed MONITOR=1 in sched conf), so, maybe it's not working? ** so, as you can see, I'm still missing some conf (or not understanding the problem/solution pair). > -- Reuti Cheers, Arnau _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
