Hi,<BR>
<BR>
First, let me say this is a spectacularly useful piece of software. I much appreciate your contribution to the research community.<BR>
<BR>
My issue is that I see that there is experimental support for starting spot instances, but I can't seem to find how to try it out. Would it be possible to provide a small a command-line example? The ability to run spot instances would be a great step forward, as it would cut costs to about a third, so I strongly encourage you to continue working in this direction.<BR>
<BR>
Also, more generally, it seems to me that there are some options in addition to the ones listed when I run "starcluster help". For example, when I was digging for information on how to run the spot instances, I saw somewhere that there is a "no-create" option. Are these additional options documented somewhere?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for all the help!<BR> <br /><hr />The New Busy is not the too busy. Combine all your e-mail accounts with Hotmail. <a href='http://www.windowslive.com/campaign/thenewbusy?tile=multiaccount&ocid=PID28326::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:WM_HMP:042010_4' target='_new'>Get busy.</a></body>
