I've been reading various discussions on here about launching a Julia 
cluster.  
It's hard to tell how current they are, and the documentation is a bit 
lacking on how to launch clusters under environments such as Torque. I'm 
using Julia 0.4.5 (e.g. no cookies)

The primary approach that is documented is for the master Julia process to 
`addprocs` and ssh to the workers in the cluster.

But this seem to conflict with the torque model, where torque launches a 
script under each assigned host. When those scripts exit the worker process 
are considered finished (as far as I understand).

So it would make most sense to let torque launch the Julia workers, and 
have those workers connect back to a designated master.

Is that straight forward to do with 0.4.5? 

I see --worker, and I thought --bind-to would allow me to specify the 
master host, but I don't see a way to tell the master that it should listen 
for workers. This is about where the documentation ends.
