The
.I limit specification
can contain spaces anywhere except after the colon
(":").
.br
If there are comma-separated
.I limit specifications,
the entire string must be enclosed in double quotes.
.br
A username, groupname, or project name containing spaces must be
enclosed in quotes.
.br
If a username, groupname, or project name is quoted using double
quotes, and the entire string requires quotes, the outer enclosing
quotes must be single quotes. Similarly, if the inner quotes are
single quotes, the outer quotes must be double quotes.
.br
.I PBS_ALL
is a keyword which indicates that this limit applies to the usage total.
.br
.I PBS_GENERIC
is a keyword which indicates that this limit applies to
generic users, groups, or projects.
.br
When removing a limit, the
.I limit value
does not need to be specified.
.br
For example, to set the
.I max_queued
limit on QueueA to 5 for total usage, and to limit user bill to 3:
.RS 11
s q QueueA max_queued = "[o:PBS_ALL=5], [u:bill =3]"
.RE
.IP
Examples of setting, adding, and removing:
.br
.RS 11
set server max_run="[u:PBS_GENERIC=2], [g:group1=10], [o:PBS_ALL = 100]"
.br
set server max_run+="[u:user1=3], [g:PBS_GENERIC=8]"
.br
set server max_run-="[u:user2], [g:group3]"
.br
set server max_run_res.ncpus="[u:PBS_GENERIC=2], [g:group1=8], [o:PBS_ALL = 64]"

.SH Incompatible Limit Attributes
The old and new limit attributes are incompatible.
If any of one kind is set, none of the other kind can be set.
All of one kind must be unset in order to set any of the other kind.
