Nah, the weight_priority won't help. It just determines how much influence the -p has vs things like job wait time or urgency. If you have none of those then all being equal it would have the same effect as if you left it untouched. And if you have influence from waiting time or urgency or others then setting the prio weight low would make it just totally insignificant.

At least with the default gridengine config, you will penalise yourself compared to other people's jobs. We've tried changing the weight_priority option down by a couple of orders of magnitude in qconf -msconf to minimise the affect it has on someone's jobs relative to others, but I'm not sure we got anywhere. We might have tweaked it down so much it didn't help.

I'd love to know the proper way to do what you want, as we want it but not had the time to suss it out ourselves :)
