I have heard there are several products available for controlling
batch job queues under unix. Can anybody fill me in?
Thanks, John

I am trying to find information about batch job systems which are available for SunOS 4.1. Can anyone recommend any systems? I have been told of a freeware system called condor but have not been able to find the source. Any help would be greatly appreciated. John Yun

So here are some offers: 1. batch Has been posted to net.sources in 1985, but has been updated since. Has n-queues n-jobs open, max cpu, queue status files, priorities. and a bunch of neat control stuff. Runs on SUNOS4.x and probably 3.x. (needs the automounter patch below) ftp'able from pub/batch.tar.Z on neat.cs.toronto.edu [128.100.1.65]. 2. MDQS A general queuing system, that also has a batch part in it. Contact: bcst@BRL.MIL Ftp it from vgr.brl.mil (128.63.16.6.) in /arch. 3. Condor Is much more than just a batchqueue. It runs the same job on several idle workstations (runs also with different operating systems). It switches the machine, if the old one is getting a higher load. Ftp it from shorty.cs.wisc.edu (128.105.2.8). 4) sun's batch Is controlable. I never recognized this , I didn't find the hint in the man pages. But %man 5 queuedefs shows you how to do it. Queuing has a bug in 4.0.3, is it fixed in 4.1? PS: diff for batch.c to run on automounted (/tmp_mnt) directories: % diff batch.c batch.c.prehofu 61d60 < char *cwdirp; 331,338c330 < /* < * if dir is /tmp_mnt/..... chop it off so automount for the sun's will < * work! < */ < cwdirp = cwdirectory; < if(strncmp(cwdirectory, "/tmp_mnt/", 9) == 0) cwdirp += 8; < sprintf(cwdirectory, "%s", cwdirp); < fprintf(tf, "# directory: %s\n", cwdirectory ); --- > fprintf(tf, "# directory: %s\n", cwdirectory ); ================== END OF PATCH ================================ == Dr. J.
