RE: [Xgridagent-development] Tiger, use of howl

[Bernard L. <bl...@bc...>]

Hey Travis:

I'm not sure how different Xgrid on Tiger Server is from Tiger
(non-Server), but it would be great if xgridagent will work on both.
Someone wrote a GUI frontend to the command line interface to manage
Xgrid server on Tiger (non-Server).

Cheers,

Bernard=20
