Hi,
We have set up a pair of redundant hosts to act as SGE job submission servers. These work by sharing each user's cronietab between both hosts, and executing jobs on whichever server is working. This avoids that problem where jobs run from cronie on one login server (such as willow) will fail to run if that host is down, even when other login servers are available.
To use the new hosts, log into submit.toolserver.org and set up a cronietab (*not* a crontab) as normal.
Note that these hosts are *only* for submitting SGE jobs, not for running tools on.
For now this service could be considered experimental, but I don't foresee any problems with it.
