Is this possible in proof?

Dear Proof experts:

Is it possible for proof to stop sending jobs to a WN which has relative high system load. I mean for a 8-core WN in proof cluster, maybe 5 are occupied by other processes which are not proof jobs, but proof thinks that all the 8 job slots on this WN are free so it will send 8 jobs to this WN and then system crashed. Is it possible for
proof to make some detection of this WN (such as cpu overload, cpu wait … ) or receive some message from other processes and then stop sending jobs to this WN?

Cheers,Gang

Hi,
No, this is not currently possible with PROOF.
If the other jobs are controlled by a batch system may be you can consider using PROOF via Proof-On-Demand using the batch system as resource manager. This may do what you want.
Have a look at pod.gsi.de/ .
