Submitting Biowulf batch jobs with upcoming downtime

Hello NIH-HPC/Biowulf Users,
A system wide node reservation is in place for the downtime period scheduled for next Monday Nov 5. This means that
the batch scheduler will not start any jobs whose run times would extend into the reservation. So please choose reasonably
accurate time limits when submitting jobs.
Jobs submitted whose run times extend into the reservation WILL NOT START until after the downtime has completed.
(By the way, you should ALWAYS submit jobs with accurate time limits as the batch scheduler will have a much easier
time scheduling your job to start. Submit with a 10 day run time? Expect to WAIT!)
