[Clusterusers] More keg rebuilding

[Wm. Josiah Erikson]

Keg is the license server for the Pixar stuff, so if keg goes down for 
too long, the runs sometimes crash due to license checkout failures for 
tractor.

We should coordinate about rebooting keg - maybe when your current runs 
finish, before you start new ones? Hopefully at the end of the day or 
something.
