[Toolserver-l] New job submission servers

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.
