This is simply a fact and not a choice on the part of GridPP.
Thanks Jeremy; that's pretty clear now. I think of it as a "nasty not to
have", so we'll have to make plans to deploy this in the coming weeks.
As far as I can see, it means a package install of glexec on each worker
node and a central ARGUS server to work with glexec.
Question: according to this note (below), SCAS is a transitional
solution, and GLEXEC is preferred except for exceptional cases. Is that
still the general consensus? Is ARGUS the way to go?
