xgrid 2
xgrid sucks. it runs as user nobody. so either you have to give the world permission to write to your directories. bad idea. or you have to run twice as many scripts and let xgrid/nobody signal them via named pipes. blech. i rewrote my scripts using ps and grep to count the number of child processes. ah. much better. i lose the ability to run jobs on different machines. oh well. the machines i'd want to run the jobs on are pcs. and they no run xgrid anyways.
