Exactly...

Yes, As you can see I requested node2
Resource_List.nodes = node2

and the output of "pbsnodes -l all" shows that this node is free

mahmood at srv1:~$ pbsnodes -l all
srv1                  job-exclusive
node2                 free
node3                 job-exclusive
node4                 free


Any idea about that?

Looking below, the job is queued in TORQUE, and idle in Maui (not running), so everything is normal.

Do you mean why isn't the job running, even though it seems that it *should* be running?

If so, I would say post the output of qstat -f for the job, and checkjob -v. This seems to be more or less a scheduler configuration, or possibly an issue with the node (which you seem to have manually selected in your qsub statement).
