but, should the jobs not queue up in the order they will run:

[root at moldyn queue]# showq
ACTIVE JOBS--------------------
JOBNAME            USERNAME      STATE  PROC   REMAINING            STARTTIME

907                     jia    Running    64    00:43:26  Sun Mar  9 14:47:43
916                     jia    Running    28     8:39:49  Mon Mar 10 10:44:06

IDLE JOBS----------------------
JOBNAME            USERNAME      STATE  PROC     WCLIMIT            QUEUETIME

910                     jia       Idle    64    12:00:00  Sat Mar  8 20:59:20
912                     kgh       Idle    32    12:00:00  Sun Mar  9 11:05:03
915                     jia       Idle    64    12:00:00  Sun Mar  9 22:15:35
918                     hab       Idle    32    12:00:00  Mon Mar 10 11:48:13
919                     kgh       Idle    28    12:00:00  Mon Mar 10 13:15:11
920                     hab       Idle    32    12:00:00  Mon Mar 10 13:22:12
