Hi guys,

Is there a way to make a certain queue (or maybe even certain jobs upon
submission) not count for the tickets a user is running?

We recently started having a very "cheap" tasks that basically wait for
external resources to be ready (could take hours) and then launches a
normal task array and end. so we put these cheap ones in their own queue
(cheap.q) which we made "free" (we excluded it from any resource quota
rules we have) because it takes virtually no resources - but now users
which have say 100 tasks running on this queue doing nothing can run 100
less tasks in the important queues and when the cluster is full these guys
are rightfully complaining this is unfair..

So is there a way to make the cheap.q tasks not count for tickets? either a
queue setting or a job setting upon submission (the jobs are being sent
through a wrapper we made, no user really calls qsub directly)

Thank you!
