[torqueusers] have enough nodes,but job is not running

[Jozef Káčer]

I often find myself in situations, in which jobs should have enough
resources and
should be running. I submit jobs using PBS script. Nevertheless, if the job
gets
hung in queue for a longer time I try force them to run using "runjob" or
"qrun". It
usually works provided that there are enough free resources available.
