|
|
so that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
gets invoked every five minutes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At every invocation,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will start all the jobs in the lowercase queues whose start
|
|
time has elapsed.
|
|
In addition, if the load average over the last minute was less than
|
|
the specified limit then a maximum of one batch job (denoted by the
|
|
uppercase queues) is started.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Before starting a job,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will check the status of its owner's account with
|
|
.Xr pam 3
|
|
and refuse to run the job if the account is unavailable,
|
|
e.g., locked out or expired.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
