PBS commands on Owens are not working

Update posted on July 12, 2017 at 1:50PM:

We have fixed the problem with the batch management system on Owens and queues on Owens have been opened again for jobs.

The cause of this problem is that one Owens job had a dependency of itself, resulting in deadlocks when batch manager evaluated the job’s dependencies. We’ve patched batch servers on all systems to keep this from happening again.
