    Greetings Seaborg User,
    
    Seaborg is currently draining the production batch classes in
    preparation for today's scheduled maintenance at 14:00.  As I
    write this, there are 97 nodes idle.  This is a good time to
    get quick turnaround for short (less than 4 hours), not-too-large
    parallel jobs.  This can be accomplished by using the "backfill"
    submit class:
    
    #@ class = backfill
    
    All jobs still running at 14:00 will be killed; all jobs still
    queued in the backfill class will be discarded.
