Hello all,

I changed the MaxTotalJobs variable to 10 but there was no improvement.

Then I searched into the the logs under /var/spool/pbs on the CE and on the WNs to see if
some problem was reported for those jobs, and I found that every job
that failed was in one of our workernodes which was outdated for some reason.

After updating the wn the problem is solved.

thanks a lot for your help.
cheers

Of course it's the limit in the batch system that needs to be changed,
the glue attribute is just a reflection of it.

Some sites have experienced cases where a single user/VO floods the site
with a huge number of jobs, so a reasonable max jobs limit is useful.
