[gold-users] Charge Rates and Balances

[Scott Jackson]

Matthias,

You will have to tell me what you did to to get it to charge in 
Processor-Hours.

A couple of things you could do:

If you were using Moab/AMCFG, you could set the Processors ChargeRate to 
1/3600 = .0002777

If you were using a prolog/epilog, you could keep your Processor 
ChargeRate at 1 and send in WallDuration in hours instead of seconds.

The --hours,-h flags in the various command are just convenience options 
which take the value and divide by 3600 (sometimes showing 2 decimal 
places in precision as well).

I would net expect this to be the case. Something is not as it should 
be. I am suspecting that whatever you are doing to charge for hours 
instead of seconds is not taking. Please show me what is happening and 
how you have it configured.

Thanks,

Scott
