[torqueusers] Removing the "exec_host" attribute from a queued job ?

[Andrew J Caird]

I'm not sure if this is exactly the same thing, but we see this in maui 
sometimes; it looks like:
    Allocated Nodes:
    [nyx020:1]
but if nyx020 has crashed, it just sits there.  We use the maui command:
    runjob -c <jobid>
According to the help for runjob:
    [ -c ] // CLEAR (clear stale job attributes)
and this seems to prompt maui to relook at where the job should be run.
