Re: [Condor-users] greedy users

[Steven Timm <timm@xxxxxxxx>]

You want to use group quotas.  Assign users to an accounting
group and then they can only use X slots.  It can be a user-by-user
group if necessary.

By itself group accounting is voluntary but what I do is
to put a wrapper around condor_submit to append the accountinggroup
automatically to the classad.
