I asked:
************************************************************************
I am seeing the case where a job with flags:
Flags: PREEMPTEE
but with the non-requeue flag set when submitted (#PBS -r n) is not
preempted when the preemptor comes along. It seems that because the job
cannot be restarted, it is skipped as a suitable candidate.
Apparently my users have found this as well!
Is there a way to tell maui that you just don't care? And kill it off,
just like I want it to be killed?
*************************************************************************
and apparently this is indeed the case. Torque will not requeue a job
marked as requeable. This is fine as this is up to Maui to deal with I
suppose. But a user who willingly submits a job to a preemptable queue
(class) better damn well be accepting of having that job killed!
And so in ./moab/MPBSI.c, in the routine MPBSJobRequeue, when the
failure is returned from Torque in pbs_rerunjob, I have added the code
to call pbs_deljob which kills the job.
