[Mauiusers] Can´t get busy nodes

[Fernando Caba]

Hi everybody, finaly my cluster is working fine.
I suggested the users to use this script:

#!/bin/bash

#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=4

cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

mpirun -np 4 /usr/local/vasp/vasp

or

#!/bin/bash

#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=8

cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

mpirun -np 8 /usr/local/vasp/vasp

ALWAYS paying atention to the numbers of ppn, indicating the same amount 
in the line mpirun.... and the line #PBS ......

I will try with CPUSET later, as Antonio Messina (amessina at ictp.it) 
indicated me.

Thanks everybody
