But you were referring to 'salloc' and not something SGE does. The
default for 'salloc' is to wait indefinitely. You can change this
behaviour with the option '--deadline':
--deadline=<OPT>
remove the job if no ending is possible before this deadline
(start > (deadline - time[-min])). Default is no deadline.
Valid time formats are:
HH:MM[:SS] [AM|PM]
MMDD[YY] or MM/DD[/YY] or MM.DD[.YY]
MM/DD[/YY]-HH:MM[:SS]
YYYY-MM-DD[THH:MM[:SS]]]
now[+count[seconds(default)|minutes|hours|days|weeks]]
