Solar Grid Timeout

Question

I have many jobs with the solar grid engine (linux). Some of the tasks take a (very) long time, and I don’t know in advance which of them.

I would like to stop work that works more than, say, 2 hours. Can I use SGE? Can this be done from a unix shell?

thanks

If you complete tasks yourself, use a tough wall clock.

# $ -l h_rt = 2: 00: 00

Where is the time hr: min: sec
