Hi Einat,

Your script:

  /home/einatlev/CitcomS/inputsample/regional/pbs_citcom

specifies that it only wants nodes with two processors:

  #PBS -l nodes=4:ppn=2:gigabit

and it wants both of those processors.  And only single-processor
machines are currently available for use, so its waiting.

So, there are a few different things that you can do including:

  1) try using:  #PBS -l nodes=4:ppn=1:gigabit

  2) try using:  #PBS -l nodes=4:gigabit

  3) run things on ao.acesgrid.org or itrda.acesgrid.org instead 
     of geojr since they're less busy
