Grid engine doesn't directly support disabling backfill. You can probably fake it by submitting jobs held and then using a cron job or similar to ensure only one queued job (the oldest) has the hold released. Be careful of job number wraparound. Using documented methods AFAICT it is only possible to submit a job with a user hold which the job owner can remove. If you trust your users this should be fine. It might be possible to get the server side jsv to add a system or operator hold but this is not a documented feature and I've never tried.it myself. William
