Qmgr -c 'set server est_start_time_freq ...' fails

Hi Bjarne,

Alas, this is one of the very few capabilities that are not part of PBS Pro 14.1, and for which we have no plans to release as open source. The team had to do a lot of refactoring/restructuring of the code (transforming from commercial 13.1 to open source 14.1), and this capability didn’t make the cut.

The 14.1 version will still calculate and report estimated start times (and locations) for top jobs, but only for top jobs. What’s not in 14.1 is the separate pbs_est daemon that calculated estimated start times for non-top jobs. Depending on what you are trying to use this information for, perhaps this is good enough.

(FYI, there is a list of capabilities not in 14.1 that are documented in 13.1 on the contributors portal at https://pbspro.atlassian.net/wiki/display/PBSPro/User+Documentation).

Best regards,
