[Moabusers] MAXJOB and MAXPROC change ?

[Chris Samuel]

Hi folks,

We've got an interesting situation, we have:

USERCFG[DEFAULT]        MAXJOB=20:25
USERCFG[DEFAULT]        MAXPROC=90
USERCFG[DEFAULT]        MAXIJOB=5

So we want no user to be able to have more than 20/25 jobs running and never 
any more than 90 CPUs over that number of jobs (to balance between the 
parametric users and the large parallel users).  Nobody can have more than 5 
jobs eligible to run (again because of the parametric users who could 
inadvertently do queue stuffing).

It's worked in the past, but we've noticed now that under 5.0.0p3 and the 
current 5.1.0rc2 snapshot that we have a user now running over 50 single CPU 
jobs and with 5 idle jobs and heaps of blocked jobs (and no free CPUs).

If I lower MAXPROC to 50 then his idle jobs become blocked because he's 
exceeded the MAXPROC limit, but MAXJOB doesn't seem to having any effect!

Help!

cheers,
Chris
