[torqueusers] More newbie questions

[kamil Marcinkowski]

Hello David

According to the torque 2.1.6 development notes queue host hostlist  
mapping
  isn't implemented yet

The qmgr commands following will work:
The compute queue will run jobs everywhere the
compile queue will only run on the head node.

> set queue compile queue_type = Execution
> set queue compile resources_default.host = headnodename
> set queue compile resources_max.host = headnodename
> set queue compile resources_min.host = headnodename
>
> set queue comute queue_type = Execution

Cheers,

Kamil
