The guy who administrates our cluster died suddenly and recently, so now we have to operate it ourselves until a new guy comes in. We want to change the hard runtime limit of a node on our cluster. For some reason, all the nodes in a queue has the desired hard runtime limit, but one of them does not.
How can I set h_rt=x for a given x?
It sounds like you are using linux clustering, so this answer is based off of that assumption:
You need to modify the limits.conf file in /etc/security/
You will need to be root or be able to sudo in order to save your changes. Once you have the file opened with your editor you should see four columns: Domain, Type, Item, Value.
You are looking to change the Value for one or more of the Hard type objects.
