Hi Chris,

exactly this issue was posted by me in november 2005
(http://www.clusterresources.com/pipermail/mauiusers/2005-November/001825.html).
Garrick provided a patch for this maui version (3.2.6p14-snap1129921819) and
the cancelation of running jobs without a given walltime by maui was solved.

By the way, this restart/cancel phenomenon is gone with maui revision
3.2.6p18-snap1164120675.

At the end of this thread you predicted the dead of the jobs after 100 days.
(http://www.clusterresources.com/pipermail/mauiusers/2005-November/001891.html).

This is now prooved. There was no restart of maui, there is 'only' the
interpretation of 'infinity' in maui, which means INFINITY=100:00:00:00 .

Does anybody know where this definition is made in the sources of maui????

Thank you for your attempt to help
best regards

 Thomas Dargel.
