Hi All, The grid-tools sandbox area is working well for experimental stuff. I would like add clients to talk to clusters work load managers like MOAB to further explore. For now I will create a stand alone example, if it works well, I will start a discussion on if we can add it as a provider to GFac. For now, its just a FYI.
