[torqueusers] qalter -lwalltime not propagated to slave moms

[David Singleton]

I dont think any qalter variations are propagated to sisters.

Our solution for walltime variations is to make sure only MS
applies the walltime limit.


src/resmom/*/mom_mach.c:

int mom_over_limit(job *pjob)
{
  .....

                 } else if (strcmp(pname, "walltime") == 0) {
                         /* ANUPBS:
                                - only have MS check walltime
                                - covers bug: resource modifications are not propagated to the
                                  sisterhood
                                - assumes only walltime being modified (most common)
                          */
                         if ((pjob->ji_qs.ji_svrflags & JOB_SVFLG_HERE) == 0) continue;
                         retval = local_gettime(pres, &value);
                         if (retval != PBSE_NONE) continue;
                         num = (unsigned long)((double)(time_now - pjob->ji_qs.ji_stime)*wallfactor);
                         if (num > value) {
                                 sprintf(log_buffer,"walltime %lusec exceeded limit %lusec",num, value);
                                 ret = (JOB_SVFLG_OVERLMT1|JOB_SVFLG_OVERLMTWALL);
                         }
                 }
