->    You want a fix right now I'm sure.

->   multiprocessor nodes.)
-> 
-> 
-> Edit the file
-> 
->  /var/spool/torque/sched_priv/sched_config
-> 
->   Change the line 
-> help_starving_jobs     true    ALL
-> 
-> to
-> 
-> help_starving_jobs      false   ALL
-> 
-> 
->   Exit the editor, and issue
-> 
-> killall -9 pbs_sched;  /usr/local/sbin/pbs_sched
-> 
-> 
->   The currently running jobs should stay running, and 
-> new jobs should start scheduling again.
-> 
->   Worst case would be losing the currently running jobs,
-> but I have started and stopped both the scheduler and 
-> server in this fashion with Torque and have not lost any jobs.
