So much for another simple test case. We certainly understand
your decision to retire the G5s, but we're trying to squeeze out
the last few cycles from them for the next couple years. A lot
of the code here is home grown, so the usage is actually pretty
good. It's likely that we'll continue to be a good test site for
OS X/G5 Torque and Maui builds for a while.
To the topic at hand, though: is there a simple way to see if a
job has a TM interface open with the MOM?
All of that said, after a few jobs have gone through the
system, this seems to be affecting only one set of them, which
suggests to me that they may not be acting as good TM citizens.
