Hi, (this is reviving a year old thread, I came across it by chance)
To solve issues like what you described, as well as some related parallel allocation jobs, this qtop tool was written: https://github.com/qtop/qtop I'm not sure how compatible it is with a given version of SGE, but it has been used daily for years on some dozen SGE clusters, without trouble. Hope it helps someone out there. cheers, F. p.s. happy to receive feedback also via private email or, on github.
