Nothing to worry about - just do it. You can stop & restart the qmaster (or even reboot the complete qmaster machine) - running jobs will continue to run*, and queued ones will stay in the queue. *) unless you stop the execd with its script [but there is "softstop" implemented in the script to allow jobs to continue even when the execd needs to be restarted for any reason] > The consensus here is that shutting down GE will kill queued jobs too by > default, Shutting down the qmaster won't kill anything, shutting down the execd will be handled like outlined above. In your case you might want to disable the queues (to drain them), and then restart the qmaster after the maintenance and enable the queues again. -- Reuti > although none of us have tried it.
