[Swift-devel] SGE's qstat output parsing failure

[Michael Wilde]

Luiz, O wonder: can you switch to using the latest release candidate (RC) of 0.93? Or better yet, build 0.93 form the latest rev in the 0.93 SVN branch, to pick up David's latest fixes to the SGE provider?

David is currently working on fixing problems that are affecting us and other users on Ranger (an SGE machine at TACC) and it would be good if we can verify that these latest fixes to the SGE provider work for your installation as well.

Thanks,

- Mike
