<p>I have what you request setup in my environment. Preemption is
the only way to go. And you don't want to suspend the pre-empted
jobs - you want to requeue them. If you suspend them, the just
stop executing but still stay in memory, so the amount of memory
needed by the preempting job may not be available. <br>
