hi,
we have a cluster on 16 nodes where we run torque+maui.
We have set max walltime of 4 days for all jobs. we want to set different

walltime, user xyzwants 55 days as max walltime for a single job. we dont

I'm an emacs-to-vim convert. Join me, brothers and sisters!
But seriously I used to spend way too much time customizing every
aspect of ever aplication I used. This included my .emacs.el file.
I've stopped doing this because I have real programming to do, and I
have to choose my battles.
