I've written a batch job system for local users, and recently found out that one called MDQS (Multiple Device Queuing System) was posted to mod.sources a very long time ago. I can't find it in any of the archives that I have access to. Where can I get a current version of the source code? Can anyone who has experience with this software (and hopefully some other batch system, like IBM's HASP or JES2 or DEC's VMS queues) please compare and comment? Also, does anyone know of a way I can restrict some commands (for example, the fortran compiler) so that they can only be run via batch jobs? Thanks!

>I ... recently found out that >one called MDQS (Multiple Device Queuing System) was posted to mod.sources a >very long time ago. Nope, MDQS was never published in mod.sources or comp.sources.unix I remember that Doug Gwyn in unix-wizards had posted a bit about the history of MDQS. I believe it's available from BRL; try a note to gwyn@brl.arpa. -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net.
