Basically, when you do a parallel restart either in the middle of an event switch or just before one, the event switch happens in the foreground and not in the background as designed. This may be a bug, but in any event, if you prevent, or warn no...

Improve Various Components of the Current Scheduler Adlgorithm

Based upon the data collected from the 'gridperf' binary, keep a table of events type type 'mbdreconfig' & 'mbdrestart' and present in RTM
