Sreedhar,

Thank you for sharing this.  It looks like a really great script.

It might look very big but it is a very simple script and has been working very well on our clusters for the past two years. I use this script to reject the jobs and also inform users whenever they submit jobs requesting either more memory or wrong queues, etc. If you are interested in using it and need little bit more help let me know and I will get back to you with little bit more detail some time tomorrow.
