Thank you, Wanderlei and Bill ! I appreciate the help. I thought about changing the job priority. However, Bill as you mentioned, I read the caveat in the manual about the lower priority jobs having to wait until the higher priority ones finish. This won't work for my situation because some of these jobs run for 12 hours. At the moment, changing the job schedule is difficult because of the way we are set up. But, I guess I'm going to have to figure out way around this.
