Hello,
I have Question concerning priorities and queue managment.
Is it possible to define something like an emergency priority?
This means if a job is submitted with this specific priority it immediately starts and jobs with actual tasks running are stopped automatically and requeued?
Maybe it´s already there, but I´m not able to find it 
thanks in advance
greetings
Andreas
You can kind of do that, but the other way round…
There is the option to set a Job as “Interruptible” (under Properties > Advanced tab), but there is no option to make a job “Emergency Priority”.
This means that if you want a job with higher priority to take over the farm, you will have to set those jobs that you want to be interrupted mid-task by it to this special state.
This is done to avoid someone from coming with a job and taking over the farm, disturbing everybody else’s work.
In other words, you don’t specify which jobs are very important, but which are not so important!
Hey Bobo,
thanks for the info!
Makes sense that way.
