Hi

You can use QUEUEJOB event hook which rejects the job request that exceeds the expectation.

The hooks framework would allow you to control ( accept/reject/modify) the job life cycle. Please go through the hooks chapter in the PBS Professional hooks guide. ( [http://www.pbsworks.com/pdfs/PBSHooks14.2.pdf](http://www.pbsworks.com/pdfs/PBSHooks14.2.pdf) )

Thank you
