Afternoon,
We're bringing in an application that will have between 11 and 14 servers
running Red Hat linux. The vendor is recommending a job scheduler.
We're aware of the Tivoli product from IBM. And I know ASG has one, as does CA.
Can anyone suggest any other linux-resident job scheduler packages? Provide
any experience? Goods, bads, and uglies?
GNU's parallel has job scheduling capabilities, as long as you can set
up ssh keys/sessions/whatever that don't require entering a password
(e.g., use an ssh agent, predefine and use controlmaster/controlpath).
Good: FOSS, powerful and well documented, based on simple concepts
Good & bad: a myriad of options and capabilities
Bad: in this context, I suppose it's bad as its primary purpose is as a
replacement for xargs and similar, not a job scheduler
