Many thanks to Simon Frost for working out how to do this!
Users who are interested in doing multiple analyses with the new scripting
language may find our web page useful;
http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/winbugs/remote14.shtml
- contains links to various pieces of work doing this using different bits of
software.
Best wishes

I've put up a simple example (based on the 'seeds' script packaged with WinBUGS)
that illustrates how Python can be used to generate WinBUGS scripts and
distribute them across a cluster of Windows NT/2000/XP computers (although it
should also work with WinBUGS under Wine). It's terribly primitive, but
nevertheless a nice example of how with very little effort it's possible to
script up some embarrassingly parallel applications. I hope that someone makes
some nicer code in the near future; I'm going to be buried with other work for
some time.
PyBugs (a grand name for a script, some awful documentation, and a few compiled
libraries) is available at:
