As you have seen from Per's announcement, this affects Gimle too.

I would also like to remind you that the scheduling reservation in place
(the horizontal yellow bar on http://www.nsc.liu.se/cgi-bin/gimlestatus)
restricts the length of jobs you can schedule before the stop. If, for
example, you submit a four day job today, it will be scheduled to run
after the service stop.

NOTE: If you do not give the "-t" flag to sbatch or interactive, the
default wall-time (also the max wall-time) 6*24 hours is assumed.
Nobody knows better than yourself what a relevant wall-time limit for
your job or interactive session is, so make it a habit to include a "-t"
flag!

The available time formats are specified in the man page for sbatch:

>        -t, --time=time Set a limit on the total run time of the job
...
>               Acceptable time formats include "minutes",

>               "days-hours", "days-hours:minutes" and
>               "days-hours:minutes:seconds".
