Thank you, Sir.

I have already completed the setting up portion (via qconf -mc) and modified 
the submission script to include the line:

  #$ -l excl=true

I just wasn't sure if a non-exclusive job would get dispatched to the same node 
that had an exclusive job running. But your answer clarified it.

Best regards,
g

| The job has to request exclusive access as well.  To enable this you define a 
boolean consumable with
| RELOP EXCL in the complex configuration and associate it with the host 
object.  A job that requests
| that consumable will be routed to such hosts and have exclusive access 
preventing other jobs from using
| said host.  Jobs that don't request the consumable will still be able to use 
and share the host when
| there isn't an exclusive job there though.  Read the relop section of the 
nice man page:
