[Moabusers] Limit the job submission per user

[Michael Santos]

Josh,

If your goal is to limit the total of idle jobs each user has, I  
think you can do that by placing

USERCFG[DEFAULT] MAXIJOB=10

in moab.cfg (Moab Admin Guide Section 6.2.3).  You could combine that  
with a limit on active jobs with

USERCFG[DEFAULT] MAXJOB=10 MAXIJOB=10

in moab.cfg (Moab Admin Guide Section 6.2.1). This would presumably  
stop "queue stuffing", if that is your goal.

However, if your goal is to constrain active+idle jobs <= 10 for each  
user, then I don't know how to do that in moab.  Presumably a wrapper  
script that queried moab could accomplish it.

Good luck.
