[torqueusers] Multiple moms

[Charles Johnson]

We use nagios to monitor an array of situations on our cluster. We  
have had an oddity show up. We monitor the number of pbs_mom's running  
on a given node. Nagios was set to report more than one mom running on  
a given node. We have occasionally seen as many as three. Moreover, a  
few of the mom's have user uid's rather than root, even though only  
root can start a mom. We have altered nagios to ignore multiple mom's  
less than 5.

Does anyone have an explanation, or better yet point me to appropriate  
documentation.

TIA

Charles
