On the one hand: yes, it's covered by this. Like the overall slot count on a machine (which can be set up in the exechost definiton or an RQS), both ways would work. It's a matter of taste how to set it up finally (request a resource because of HOSTONCE or request a queue because of the RQS). Having too many fundamental limits in the RQS might give long ouptuts. Therefore I came up with: https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE/ticket/1318 -- Reuti >>> Oh, and a side question - I'm confused about the proliferation of >>> versions.
