Syntax qed::configure_max_jobs_for_compute_spec_type [-h | -help] [-long_help] -spec_type <local|ssh|lsf|slurm|pbspro|arc> -max_jobs <max_jobs>
Arguments -h | -help Short help
-long_help Long help with examples and possible return values
-spec_type <local|ssh|lsf|slurm|pbspro|arc> The type of compute spec that's being changed
-max_jobs <max_jobs> Number of jobs that can be run simultaneously
Description
Sets the max_jobs_per_spec_type property for the specified compute specification type. This is a safety measure which
controls the number of parallel connections that are allowed to launch simultaneously.

The "-spec_type" option specifies the compute spec type. The supported options are local, ssh, lsf, slurm, pbspro.

The "-max_jobs" option specifies the the number of jobs can be run concurrently. This value must be non-negative.
If set to 0, an unlimited number of connections may be launched in parallel. For any number above 0, only that many
connections may be launched in parallel. Any further connection will fail to launch until an existing connection is
disconnected.
