maui

Under TORQUE-MAUI job scheduling system, there are several reasons to have a job stayed in Q state. Those that I know are:

There are not enough resource to run the Queued job.
The user is not allowed to have further running jobs.
The user is not allowed to have further computation cores.

Is there any other reason to have the queued job?

Further information:

I am asking the question because I have couple of queued jobs while some nodes are free, pbs_mom is on on them, and mauid limitations are generously large.

Thanks in advance.
