Overview
--------

Queue provides a generic cluster batch queue.

Installation and Bugs
---------------------

As queue is a script shell, you don't need anything to compile
it. However, since version 0.10.0, you will need a MySQL server
installed and accessible by network from all nodes. Table definitions
are provided in file queue.sql. Former version (aka 0.9.27) which only
used a simple plain text file is still avaliable in directory attic.

See the notes in file INSTALL for more specific installation
instructions, including directions for installing Queue.

The file BUGS contains a recommended procedure for reporting bugs, as
well as a list of known problems and possible fixes.

Documentation
-------------

Queue documentation will be available in the man page.

Performance
-----------

Queue has been deployed over a 80 node cluster.

Implementation
--------------

Queue is a simple shell script. I should be compatible with most of
recent shell implementation.


Additional Information
----------------------

None.
