We have a little hqueue problem at work, working with Octane. Unfortunately we have more machines on the farm than we have octane licences (as far as i understand they are floating so we can't just choose a pool) and sometimes the jobs fail (as in they don't render). howerver hqueue marks them as successfull instead of failed (so they don't requeue automatically)

Is there a way to tweak hqueue so that 'Giving up. License activation failed.' trips up the 'failed' flag ? Thanks. I'm not the IT but if i can help....
