I understand that, and I didn't say lfs was better (it has plenty of its own quirks), or that SGE was a bad choice - it seems to run well enough, all things considered. It's just that things like "SGE might interpret comments in your scripts as commands and die" or "you can't run qsub from within qsub" are types of behaviour that are unusual to say the least, and the toolserver users are left to the mercy of these issues (I'd call them bugs) without warning or documentation. (Yes, there is a wiki pages that says it can interpret special comments in your script. That's somewhat different from "it will reinterpret your Perl script and fall over").
Having learned some lessons today, you should write improved documentation on the wiki. :-)
