[torqueusers] Re: [torquedev] Some jobs not starting with Torque 2.3.1 and Moab

[Josh Butikofer]

Lennart,

This was fixed in the latest TORQUE 2.3.2 snapshot available at 
http://www.clusterresources.com/downloads/torque/torque-2.3.2-snap.200807092141.tar.gz.

Alternatively, if you are using Moab 5.2.3 revision 9927 or higher, you 
can set the "NONEEDNODES=TRUE" parameter on your RMCFG[] line that 
describes your TORQUE resource manager:

Ex: moab.cfg

RMCFG[base] TYPE=PBS NONEEDNODES=TRUE
