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]] [snip (36 lines)] > > Queuing system No Yes > > I am not sure what you mean with the last point, since 'salloc' is also > handled by the queueing system.
