[slurm-users] limit the queued jobs

[Purvesh Parmar]

Hi,
Thank you for the response. However, MaxJobsAccrue only limits to assigning
priorities to jobs i.e.  Maximum number of pending jobs able to accrue age
priority at any given time. But it does not stop/ allow  user from
submitting further jobs.

Thanks once again
