Thanks. I don't want to fiddle to much with SGE's in- testines, so I will probably either use "| mail timl" in my script or have my MUA insert the log in the status mail.
I looked if I could submit this totally fascinating and innovative idea of mailing the output as a RFE upstream, but amazingly I didn't see a bugtracker at Oracle :-). I would even have had another idea: Impromptu jobs à la "echo true | at now" :-).
Oracle closed-sourced it. There are a number of forks. Quick link: http://gridengine.org/blog/2011/11/23/what-now/
If these two issues are the only things missing in SGE, I think we can stay with it :-).
No, we are using an open source version based on SGE 6.2u5 patch 2 which was the last open source version by oracle (so for documentation refer to this version). I used Grid Engine 2011.11p1 but i also added some additional bug patches and special modifications for our toolserver version.
Oh, that's nice. Is the source available somewhere? [...]
Merlissimo replied on IRC that the source is at /mnt/user-store/sge and that binaries for Solaris and Linux 2.6 were compiled on Solaris boxes. /sge is shared between hosts and also contains the master spool. So if someone wants to tackle TS-963, there you are :-).
