[torqueusers] scheduling cycle

[Ai Niwaer]

Dear Garrick,

Thanks for your reply.

Nodes become free only if some jobs are finished. Reservation release can be
regarded as job finish. So why do I still need scheduling cycle?

Is there trigger for job finish, job start etc from server or MOM?

Thanks,

Anwar

Because other factors can influence scheduling, such as nodes becoming free,
time-based reservations, etc.
