Agreed. However, I am thinking about things like the weekly run of explorer, log file rotators, etc. If I'm trying to kick of a nightly build+test cycle, N1GE may be the more appropriate tool. Of course, this is all based upon a short period of usage of N1GE about 7 years ago. Prior to that, I had managed and used a Condor pool for several years. At a relatively coarse level, N1GE and Condor did (do?) roughly the same thing. I guess it is getting to be time to read up on it again to see if there are any new bells or whistles that I gotta have. > P.S.
