<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am performing the same process as you and am seeing the same result. I am running torque-1.0.1p6 and maui-3.2.6p6. It is not clear when maui dies and what triggers it. But a work around is to install a cron script to check whether or not maui exists in the process list and if not, start it again. Has anyone else seen this problem? Apparently, it persists through at least a couple of patch levels.</FONT></P>
