Thanx for the replies, |

I will certainly try the beowulf mailinglist next week, |
| 4 |
The suggestions are great gearman seems to fit except for being perl |
| 5 |
oriented (atleast that's what I read sofar). |
| 6 |
Torque/pbs, don't know about that yet. |

Off the top of my head, many of your requirements are available in two |
| 29 |
totally different apps: |
| 30 |
- Gearman, written by Brad Fitzpatrick @ LiveJournal. Perl mainly, I |
| 31 |
think there are other interfaces as well to it. |
| 32 |
- Torque/PBS - somewhat less of a fit, I'm not certain about running |
| 33 |
perpetual jobs. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
You may also need some degree of STONITH for the job running only once |
| 36 |
during node failure case. (Say the job manager crashes, the job is still |
| 37 |
running, but you have no control of it. You need to zap it hard). |
