And also http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/4.9/WHATSNEW :


* Add global Jobs configuration directive:

   Jobs MaxLifetime 3600
   Jobs MaxServers  3

   After a job has been running for MaxLifetime seconds, it will be
   removed by next housekeeping run. The default MaxLifetime is 10
   minutes. This setting is only available if PIDcheck has been set.

   MaxServers is the number of jobs allowed to be run simulatenously,
   which should be significantly smaller than the value in the
   MaxServers directive to avoid unaccessibility of Interchange for
   users. The default for MaxServers is 1.
