[Mauiusers] ignoring reservations/etc for job start

[Ramon Bastiaans]

The priority jobs I want to run are sort of test jobs, that will not 
succeed on the login node. This is because not all required software for 
the test job is installed on the head/login node, but it is on the batch 
nodes.

That's also why I want it to run through the normal batch but just 
bypass all scheduling restrictions and just run immediately on any node.

Cheers,
- Ramon.

There are really only three types of people:

   Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen
   and those who say, "What happened?"
