[Mauiusers] setting priorities and suspending running jobs.

[Jerry Mersel]

Hi :

 I am using torque 2.3.0 and maui 3.2.6p19.
 I have set up a node and this node is part of 2 queues.
  A high priority queue and a low priority queue.
 What I want to see happen is the job running on the low priority queue 
get suspended
 and the jobs waiting in the high priority queue get executed, but it 
doesn't happen.

Please help.
Here are some details:

The node:


 l n node4
Node node4
        state = job-exclusive
        np = 2
        properties = Jerry
        ntype = cluster
        jobs = 0/25.node4, 1/24.node4
        status = opsys=linux,
                 uname=Linux node4 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 
16:36:54 EDT 2007 x86_64,
                 sessions=3785 4900 27445 27449 27050,nsessions=5,nusers=3,
                 idletime=2583,totmem=5767048kb,availmem=5191896kb,

                 state=free,jobs=25.node4 
24.node4,varattr=,rectime=1207554457

queue low priority:
p q batch
#
# Create queues and set their attributes.
#
#
# Create and define queue batch
#
create queue batch
set queue batch queue_type = Execution
set queue batch Priority = 1
set queue batch enabled = True
set queue batch started = True


high priority queue:
 p q prio.q
#
# Create queues and set their attributes.
#
#
# Create and define queue prio.q
#
create queue prio.q
set queue prio.q queue_type = Execution
set queue prio.q Priority = 150
set queue prio.q acl_host_enable = False
set queue prio.q acl_hosts = node4
set queue prio.q acl_user_enable = True
set queue prio.q acl_users = mlmersel
set queue prio.q resources_default.neednodes = Jerry
set queue prio.q enabled = True
set queue prio.q started = True


When I execute on the high priority queue the command is:

 qsub -q prio.q <command>l        00:00:43 R batch

but the command stays on the queue.

This is my maui config:
