[torqueusers] Creating a queue for certain nodes

[scoggins]

The way I have seen that you could make this work is to put inside  
your script on the nodes = line the following
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=4:node11

This will guarantee that this will go to node 11.  The queue name  
will place it on the queue but not the node.  For some reason I have  
found that the property in the server_priv/nodes file only works on  
the -l nodes=x:ppn=x:<property> and not in the qmgr side.  If this is  
a bug then someone should check into it.
