Dickson Message-ID: <91123.140229DICKSNR@QUCDN.QueensU.CA> Newsgroups: comp.unix.aix Subject: Batch scheduler wanted Having run into the degraded performance of a multi-user RS/6000 system, we would like to give our users the option of putting their large jobs in a batch queue, from which jobs are then executed when the machine load is low. I'm sure such systems exist; but I can't name any nor decide where to look. Anyone who can tell us about such a utility, *particularly* if it's already being used under AIX 3, will receive considerable gratitude. As usual, if response allows, a summary may be posted later. Thanks in advance. Ross M. Dickson, Theoretical Chemistry Group, Queen's University at Kingston ross@chem.queensu.ca OR dicksnr@qucdn.queensu.ca OR dicksnr@qucdn.bitnet
