TORQUE* Resource Manager's user community, in cooperation with Cluster Resources, contributed several fixes in the last month to create TORQUE 1.2.0p5.
One important fix stops the problem of qstat hanging while pbs_server is waiting for an update from an offline MOM. The problem occurred when a MOM in the "down, job-exclusive" state was marked offline using the "pbsnodes -o" command.
A patch submitted by the University of Maine fixes a communication error during job cancellation. When Cluster Resources tested the patch, they found it increased the performance of qdel in certain circumstances.
On behalf of the user community we would also like to thank all those not mentioned above who helped find and fix problems and test new patches.
