[Swift-devel] Swift run: hanging up when submitting a job

Because the user might have some idea of the execution time 
of their single job, is it possible to add a paramter in 
swift.properities or tc.data specifying the max process 
duration of each job. If exceeding that throttle, the job 
would be resubmitted to another site to be executed. I know 
that there is already a maxwalltime which specifies a 
walltime limit for each job, in minutes in Swift. But I'm 
not sure if this paramter could exactly perform such 
function? If not, is it difficult to make such a trial?

Thanks,
