[Swift-user] Problem with app using maxTime

Lorenzo, for historical reasons which should be fixed (or will be hidden with the gensites utility), maxtime is specified in integer seconds, while maxwalltime needs to be specified in hh:mm:ss ala say PBS style.

My first guess here is that Swift interpreted maxwalltime to be hours instead of seconds.  so 600 secs should be specified as 00:10:00. Can you try that before we dig deeper into this one?

Thanks,

- Mike
