[Swift-devel] some details about softimage

[Mihael Hategan]

Mike asked for some details of how that works.

You specify it like this in sites.xml:

<profile namespace="globus"
key="softImage">/lustre/beagle/hategan/softimg.tar.gz /tmp/softimage</profile>

That is <tar.gz_location><space><dest_dir>.

If your tar.gz contains a "start" executable in the root directory, it
will be executed after unpacking.

Similarly, if the tar.gz contains a "stop" executable in the root
directory, it will be executed before cleanup (which is when no more
jobs will be run on that node).
