The test is only a dependency for initiation. If the dependent job fails during activation time, it will still launch and probably do nothing interesting. If it can't launch due to resource contention then it doesn't launch. It's not going to be killing other jobs :) -- Lev Lafayette, BA (Hons), GradCertTerAdEd (Murdoch), GradCertPM, MBA (Tech Mngmnt) (Chifley) HPC Support and Training Officer +61383444193 +61432255208 Department of Infrastructure Services, University of Melbourne
