[Aces-support] PBS question

[aces-admin at techsquare.com]

hello lcampo-

rather than bore all of the aces-users with 
problems on your cluster, can we take this 
off-list ? 

fwiw, the easiest thing would be to login 
and take a look. there are lots of little things
that one doesn't think of when typing email. 

can't make any promises, though, as this is 
all gratis, non ?
