      If the watcher is disabled at cluster level (via
62
      the <command>gnt-cluster watcher pause</command> command), it
63
      will exit without doing anything. The cluster-level pause can be
64
      overriden via the <option>--ignore-pause</option> option, for
65
      example if during a maintenance the watcher needs to be disabled
66
      in general, but the administrator wants to run it just once.

        The watcher will also archive old jobs (older than the age

        given via the <option>--job-age</option> option, which
92
        defaults to 6 hours), in order to keep the job queue
