[torqueusers] Exclusive Nodes

[Piotr Siwczak]

You could probably define the node as np=1 in pbs_server's config file 
called "nodes".

This would allow only one job to run at a time. Anyway I don't know if I 
get it right: do You want to assign jobs exclusively only to a given job, 
or to make them "exclusive" permanently (only one job at a time regardles 
of the user running it).

Cheers,
Piotr
