PoD supports OGE/SGE

Some more updates on the upcoming PoD v2.4 ;)

I finally finished the implementation for GUI of the Oracle Grid Engine (OGE) plug-in. Since a month OGE was supported by PoD, but only CLI. Now, starting from PoD v2.3.100.gac84 the OGE is fully supported in both, PoD GUI and PoD CLI.

As you can see, the interface is very simple and easy to use:
Using PoD GUI you can submit PoD jobs to an OGE cluster, check status of jobs, and kill jobs :)

PoD also supports an OGE option file. If you want to provide some additional Grid Engine options to your PoD jobs submitted to OGE cluster, to select some specific resource or something like that, than PoD gives you this possibility via an OGE option file. Just create a file $POD_LOCATION/etc/Job.oge.option and write valid OGE options in it. If the file exists, than PoD will automatically use it while submitting OGE jobs.
See qsub man page of OGE for more information on the option file (search for the "-@" option in the man page).
