Hi all.<br><br>I'm having a hard time here setting up the limits for our queue system.<br><br>We have the following line in our /usr/local/maui/maui.cfg file:<br><br>CLASSCFG[cluster] MAXPROC[GROUP]=16 MAXPROC[USER]=8<br>
<br>The rest of the file is pretty much the standard one. Shouldn't it
alone be enough to constrain any user to not be using more than 8
processors? Also, neither group to use more than 16?<br><br>My problem
is that, despite that line, we have users getting easilly 12
processors, and group summing up to 20. For example, user "gullit"
bellow is using 12 processors at this moment, and group "hubert" sums
up to 20 processors (sorry, that was the simplest command line and
output I could come up with):<br>

problem is that the policy here is that no one can surpass it's

<br>What am I doing wrong here? Should I change/add something else in the configuration file?<br><br>Thanks a lot in advance.<br><br>Sincerally yours,<br><br>Jones<br>
