Hi Steve,
well it says
[root@ce phy]# qalter -l pcput=700:00:00 `qselect -u cms002`
qalter: Cannot modify attribute while job running Resource_List.pcput
4607.ce.phy.bg.ac.yu
qalter: Cannot modify attribute while job running Resource_List.pcput
4650.ce.phy.bg.ac.yu
Fortunately, the jobs have finished in the meantime...
Man qalter for -l explains that: "If a requested modification to a
resource would exceed the resource limits for jobs in the current queue,
the server will reject the request. If the job is running, only certain,
resources can be altered. Which resources can be altered in the run state
is system dependent. A user may only lower the limit for those resources."
Any other ideas if similar happens again?
Thanks, Antun
