If you start pbs_sched with primary interface down then it fails to start. # ifdown eth0 # hostname -i 192.168.1.2 # netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface # /etc/init.d/pbs_sched start Starting TORQUE Scheduler: pbs_sched: LOG_ERROR::Cannot assign requested address (99) in main, bind [FAILED] after bringing the interface up. # /etc/init.d/pbs_sched start Starting TORQUE Scheduler: [ OK ] # netstat -tapn | grep pbs tcp 0 0 192.168.1.2:15004 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1262/pbs_sched pbs_mom and pbs_sched don't suffer from this.
