check_job_overtime

Look for jobs that are running past their available walltime

Note: it is assumed that TORQUE is used as a resource manager and Maui as a scheduler. Tested with TORQUE 2.3.5 and Maui 3.2.6p21.

Requires a valid showq Maui client.

Usage

check_job_overtime

This plugin has no command line parameters; showq is executed locally.

Note that it can be quite normal for a job to run a few minuted beyond its scheduled walltime, so if you plan to use an event handler to kill runaway jobs, be sure to check multiple times at suitable intervals this plugin!
