[slurm-users] how to restrict jobs

[navin srivastava]

Thanks Michael,

yes i have gone through but the licenses are remote license and it will be
used by outside as well not only in slurm.
so basically i am interested to know how we can update the database
dynamically to get the exact value at that point of time.
i mean query the license server and update the database accordingly. does
slurm automatically updated the value based on usage?


Regards
Navin.
