Queue load-balancing/distributed batch processing and local rsh replacement system

 [image of the Head of a GNU] (jpeg 7k) (jpeg 21k)

Queue is a load-balancing system that lets users control their remote jobs in an intuitive, transparent and nearly seamless way. This is done with local shell job control and signaling and with Queue's innovative proxy deamon mechanism. Queue can be used as a local replacement for rsh to hosts within a homogeneous cluster under single administrative control. Queue also supports the more traditional email-based load-balancing and distributed batch-processing facilities using a number of criteria to decide where to send jobs.

A number of exciting development projects to improve Queue under way. Instructions on submitting bug reports and adding patches to the archives may be found here, along with any late-breaking news stories.

GNU Queue is now a participating project on Sourceforge. Developers and interested on-lookers should go here for more info.

Queue currently supports GNU/Linux, HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, IRIX, FreeBSD, and Digital Alpha OSF/1 Unix platforms. Requests for support on additional platforms should be sent to bug-queue@gnu.org.

Program and source code are released under the GNU General Public License.
