    Hi,

I've been trying to redo the global tracking and some of the tof
calibrations, but twice the last weeks the rcas machines have been
swamped by unreasonable jobs (fx jobs hanging in an infinite loop).

There are two obvious solutions to this problem: Check your jobs
now and then to see if it looks ok or (the easy way) put a max CPU time
limit on your jobs. Just use the c option ("bsub ... -c 120" gives a max
of two hours). And then of course, don't start 200 jobs that each takes 10
hours, at least not without informing the rest of us that you will occupy
the machines for ... well you can do the calculation yourself.

Cheers,

Claus
