Re: SPTP Problem when running in Batch

It's not a fixed number, Gord.  Whenever QShell needs to run two tasks 
simultaneously, it creates an additional job.

For example, if you did this:

ls -l | grep ^- | pr | Rfile -wQ mylib/myfile

It has to run multiple jobs, because ls, grep, pr and Rfile all run 
simultaneously.  I don't know exactly which things run in their own jobs 
and which do not, so I'm not sure if this spawns 3 or 4 jobs? (one to 
run ls, one to run grep, one to run pr, and one to run Rfile, or does 
one of them run in the current job?)

Plus, any given program can potentially fork additional jobs.  (I doubt 
ls, grep, pr or Rfile does this, but sftp might...?)

So, I don't know the exact number of jobs needed... honestly, never 
really thought about it before.  I always my QShell in a *NOMAX queue.
