Launch User Groups GUI

2012-06-18 Thread Wil Irwin
Hi- Sorry for such a simple question; couldn't find the answer through search: How do you launch the Users Groups GUI from the command line? (I need it for some remote management-- doing what I need to do directly via the command line is too tedious.) Thanks, Wil

Multiple terminal windows won't send jobs to individual cores

2012-04-05 Thread Wil Irwin
Hi- I am totally stumped and at a complete loss on this one. In an 'old school' manner (a.k.a poor man's grid engine), it is a common practice (at least for me) to open multiple terminal windows on a mullti-core machine. Submitting a job in each terminal window will send it to a core which is

Thanks for all of the suggestions. To recap: 1. I'm not sure why my claim that running jobs in several terminal windows will automatically be distributed to the next least used core (and it will run at 100% until the job is done. I have be doing this for years w/o ANY special coding or using any

Hello- I am having unparalleled (no pun intended) problems getting SGE 6.2 to run under SL 6.1. I have consulted with others who have quite a bit of experience using SGE on an earlier version of SL, and we cannot determine why it won't run. Before I list the nature of the problems, I though I

system? In the case #1, you should be able to get SGE to run once you install the necessary 32 bit compatibility libraries, or (recommended) switch to a 64 bit version of SGE 6.2. In the case #2, you are going to be out of luck... -Keith. At 12:43 PM -0800 1/11/12, Wil Irwin wrote: Hello

Hi Alex- While I am not committed to the ATI proprietary drivers, I have been forced to use them for a number of reasons. If you haven't noticed, since March, every month (if not more frequently), ATI releases an update as a rule. It is an unnecessary and very time-consuming effort. Other than
