I admit that it can be nice not to have to wait for another user to notice his or her locked-up compilation job, but what if you've got two batch-by-design jobs that could get into a fight with each other if allowed to run concurrently?

For probably the fourth or fifth time, I had to clean up a mess that was partly caused by two batch jobs (running the same program!) getting into exactly that sort of fight, for exactly that reason.

Isn't "running jobs sequentially, one at a time" the essence of batch processing?

Why it took me until now to fix it so that they'd be explicitly run through a "normal" batch queue instead of the default "abby-normal" one, I dunno.
