I was under the impression that some people had this working a while ago - basically the job gets sent SIGSTOP by pbs_mom (more complicated than that, but you get the idea). There is also preliminary support for the BCLR checkpoint/restart kernel module in trunk for Torque that will checkpoint the job to disk and terminate it, thus freeing up any resources it was using. cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel - (03) 9925 4751 - Systems Manager The Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing P.O.
