[torqueusers] PBS job issue

[Abhishek Gupta]

Hi Steve,
You are right, it is MPI type of job. I checked the nodes which were 
assigned to the job and there was no job running. Even the job that 
should run in a few seconds, was totally stuck. Could you please tell me 
what should I do to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Abhishek.
