Over a period of time, I have noticed the following problems with generic batch queues within a cluster environment: 1. Significant skew among the CPU time-of-day clocks causes havoc cluster wide. Jobs in a generic batch queue may be prematurely released for execution to a specific queue. (sounds probable) 2. Cluster formation/reduction activity appears to have a weird effect on the various job controllers on the CPUs. Running batch jobs get blown away by the JOBCTLr, Has anyone else noticed any of these situations? They may just be big coincidences. Jeff
