[torqueusers] Torque changes node state frequently

[Danny Sternkopf]

Hi Garrick,

yes your are absolutely right. There is a daemon which is doing 
'pbsnodes -r'. The behavior of that option has been changed.

Sorry, I didn't see that in the ChangeLog. That was probably meant in 
version 1.2.0p6 with ' - improved pbsnodes 'offline' management', right?

Thank you very much for your quick help!

Best regards,

Danny
