Hi, I use parallel to distribute jobs over nodes in our 39-node cluster (embarrassingly parallel problems, so can split them up arbitrarily). However, sometimes some of the nodes are down (like now), and so what I would like to do is the following: 1) submit jobs that will take several hours to run, during which time I won't have anything else in particular to do 2) Go work on bringing cluster nodes back up 3) Change ~/.parallel/sshloginfile 4) GNU parallel notices that the file has changed, just like if I were using -j procfile, and immediately starts jobs on those additional nodes.
I am using parallel 20110522. Is this behavior already implemented? If not, I would like to request this feature. Regards, Jon Wilson
