RE: Re: [Mauiusers] scheduling = false + maui

But, if for whatever reason, we don't want to mark nodes offline, but want
to stop scheduling, will not

schedctl -s

suspend scheduling w/maui?

And 

schedctl -r

resume it?

And torque can still send all the info over it wants, maui just won't tell
torque to execute anything more?

This seems cleaner and more centralized.

If you mark them "down", they will just be back up again with a minute
or two.

You'd want to mark them "offline" with 'pbsnodes -o'.
