Hi, I used the following prevent job belonging to a specific user from starting:
sacctmgr modify user where name=naughtyuser account=badguys set maxjobs=0 After this 'squeue' showed the reason for the pending jobs as 'AssocMaxJobsLimit'. I subsequently lifted the restriction with sacctmgr modify user where name=naughtyuser account=badguys set maxjobs=-1 where upon some of the jobs which had been pending immediately started. However, for the other jobs which are still pending the reason 'AssocMaxJobsLimit' is still given. I assume that this is just a bug in the display of 'squeue' (version 14.11.8). Can anyone confirm this? Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under construction.
