Running Jobs: JobId Level Name Status ====================================================================== 11172 Full Unix_crank-va-3.2009-03-19_17.36.24 is running 11173 Full Unix_crank-va-4.2009-03-19_17.39.25 is running 11174 Full DatabaseArchives_crank-va-3.2009-03-19_17.40.27 is waiting for higher priority jobs to finish ==== > > I have one question here which should clarify a lot.
