[torqueusers] defining queues by user defined node features

[P Spencer Davis]

Garric,
   I must have something mis-configured in my Torque build, when I run 
pbsnodes -a, I get this for a 32 bit node:


n31
      state = free
      np = 2
      properties = x86
      ntype = cluster
      status = opsys=linux,uname=Linux n31 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 
20 17:03:35 EDT 2007 i686,sessions=? 0,nsessions=? 
0,nusers=0,idletime=6245395,totmem=4115192kb,availmem=3976908kb,physmem=2074948kb,ncpus=2,loadave=0.00,netload=540921041,state=free,jobs=? 
0,rectime=1190227062

and the following for a 64 bit node:

  n44
       state = free
       np = 2
       properties = em64
       ntype = cluster
       status = opsys=linux,uname=Linux n44 2.6.9-55.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP 
Tue Jun 12 17:58:20 EDT 2007 x86_64,sessions=? 0,nsessions=? 
0,nusers=0,idletime=4944933,totmem=4095308kb,availmem=4000404kb,physmem=2055064kb,ncpus=2,loadave=0.00,netload=2065139824,state=free,jobs=? 
0,rectime=1190227062

I'm at a bit of a loss, and your method looks better,
                     thank you,
                            Spencer
