[Toolserver-announce] SGE can now be used for *all* tools

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, In the past, our policy on SGE (batch job scheduling) was that it should only be used for jobs which run once then exit, and that it should not be used for jobs which run continuously. This policy has now changed, and SGE can be used for all jobs, including long-running jobs. This effectively obsoletes Phoenix and similar tools, since SGE with cronsub provides the same functionality. Because SGE makes it easier for us to scale the Toolserver cluster, as well as making your tools run more efficiently (and therefore quicker), we recommend that all tools be converted to SGE where possible. The wiki page now has a quick-start section explaining how to do this: <https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Batch_job_scheduling#Quick_start> (While SGE has a lot of features and can be complicated, we've tried to make it easy to use for the typical cases; if something is not clear, please let us know.) - river.
