This is to announce release 1.099 of GNU Queue.
Queue is a load-balancing system for UNIX that allows intuitive control
of remote executing jobs through job control by the local shell. You can
suspend, resume, send signals, and learn of termination events at the
remote end by sending these to a local process, which acts as a
proxy for the job executing on the remote host.
Queue also features a more traditional batch processing mechanism, where
users are informed of the status of remote jobs via email.
Remote jobs may be scheduled based on a number of factors, including
modified load average at the remote end, time of day scheduling, number
of slots available for process type, etc., etc.
Queue also functions as a handy replacement for rsh when executing jobs
within the local cluster; some MPI support is available.
Version 1.099 of GNU Queue now features:
Blinking-lights automatic installation (we hope).
Queue now periodically reads the host ACL from a file using
code contributed by Dave van Leeuwen.
Root privileges are no longer required to install GNU Queue.
A 30+ page comphrensive manual along with the usual manpage.
MPI support through "qsh" compatibility syntax.
Numerous additional improvements, changes, and bug-fixes;
see http://bioinfo.mbb.yale.edu/~wkrebs/ChangeLog.txt for
the complete list.
