humm.. answering myself..

from the man pages it seams that

maxujobs is for only running jobs per user

while

max_u_jobs is for both running and pending jobs per user

is that correct?

Thank you and best regards

More or less.  There is one other slight difference when it comes to array jobs.
Maxujobs counts each running task while max_u_jobs considers the whole array to 
be a single job.

hehehe.. I still have to understand what a array job is.. and I don't
believe any of my users have ever used it. I'll try to find some doc
about it. :-)

It's a way to submit a bunch of jobs that are identical from grid engine's POV 
as a single job.  This lightens the load on the scheduler
and means qstat normally only reports a single queued job.  Probably what the 
user who caused your original issue should have submitted.

Nice! :-)

And the tasks in the array jobs can get running in parallel or they always run in serial?
