[Swift-devel] [Swift-user] coaster-service.conf

So the start-coaster-service for cobalt uses cqsub and not qsub.  qsub 
has the --kernel option while cqsub has the -k option.  Looking at the 
man pages they seem to be the same, but not sure.  Justin can probably 
provide more information on the difference, or point to a document that 
explains when one should be used over the other.

>> Thank youvery much for fixing it Jon. I am not sure about the trade-offs though. I can switch to cqsub if it is necessary.


Then Justin will have to do a svn up tomorrow for you.  We probably 
should figure out a way for you to have your own stable copy to make 
changes too, so that us updating that copy is not a blocker for you 
progressing further.

>> Yes. We need to talk about this in Wednesday meeting.



Justin could you please take an update ?

Thank you
Emalayan
