[torqueusers] Flexlm and job submissions

[Joshua Bernstein]

Hi Steve,

TORQUE does not have this capability, however Maui *might*, but Moab

Scyld TaskMaster, a rebranded version from Penguin Computing. (/shameless).

The best you could do with Maui is probably something like this:

The Moab information is here:
