Hi Torsten, Quite a hack honestly, but it does the job. Remove execution permission of qstat to non-root users, on our installation it is: $ chmod go-x /opt/gridengine/bin/lx-amd64/qstat That way only root can use qstat at all. If users have access to several nodes, same should be done on all of them.
