Re: Small problems using Torque + MAUI (start delay, error message, redirecting standard output)

I've added the line 'set server scheduling = true" and the delay has
desappeared! Thank you!
I have a small cluster, so reducing the poll interval should be not a
problem, but it is unnecessary, now.
What about the message "'unknown': I need something more specific." when
exiting from an interactive session?
As an example, this is what happens:
--------------------------------
[francesco@epsilon ~]$ qsub -I
qsub: waiting for job 1783.epsilon to start
qsub: job 1783.epsilon ready
[francesco@node6 ~]$ top
'unknown': I need something more specific.
[francesco@node6 ~]$ exit
logout
'unknown': I need something more specific.

qsub: job 1783.epsilon completed
[francesco@epsilon ~]$
--------------------------------

I guess it's something related to the terminal, but how can I resove the
problem?
