Re: [Condor-users] Limiting the number of jobs of a particular "type"

[Miron Livny <miron@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ian,

What we can offer "out of the box" to address this requirement is to have a 
SchedD per licence and use the feature that controls the number of jobs the 
SchedD can have active at any time. As you can imagine, you are not the 
first to face this challenge. We have been doing some thinking and work in 
this area. I will be happy to discuss with you off line our thoughts/plans 
and learn more about your requirements.
