Re: [Queue-developers] Help on source code (queue.c)

[W. G. K. <wer...@ya...>]

This depends on what version you are using.

Versions below 1.20.0 (e.g., 1.12.8) store this information (command line
information, &c) in a file that is available to the queue daemon at the
remote host via NFS. These versions simply open a TCP/IP socket connection to
tell the remote host to look for new files in its NFS directory.

Versions 1.20.0 and higher (in pre-release) send this file directly to the
remote host via TCP/IP (thus eliminating the need for NFS.)

I hope this helps.

If you make any changes to GNU Queue that might be of interest to other
users, in the spirit of OpenSource software I hope you will submit the
patches to either bug...@gn... or the patch facility on Sourceforge.
Thanks.
