Do either of these work for you?
Will report back in a bit, I'm now in the middle of an OS upgrade on the cluster.
But my question was more like: is this a configuration that should theoretically work ? Or in other words, are there known dependencies on rsh that would make a rsh-less build not work or work with reduced functionality ?
Most batch systems today set a sentinel environment variable that we check for.
I think that we talk about slightly different things - my impression was that the OP was asking about detection at config time, while your statements make perfect sense to me if they are relative to detection at run-time. If the OP was indeed asking about run-time detection, then I apologize for the time you wasted on reading and replying to my questions...
That's what the compile-time vs. run-time detection and selection is supposed to be for.
Yes, I understand that, it's the same type of mechanism as in LAM/MPI which it's not that foreign to me ;-)
