Deadline feature request - global machine limit

Deadline
1

We would love the option for a global machine limit for all job types e.g. all submitted jobs to deadline have machine limit = 50.

We enforce this already but currently chasing around individual submission scripts and updating each time…would be awesome to set this as an override to all jobs at repository-options level.

Hi,
You could achieve this with an event plugin that is executed for all jobs that are submitted or started in your queue. The good thing about this approach, is it’s easy to tweak it later to say, exclude a certain job type.
