Hi Marco,</div><div><br></div><div>This is a good case for a simple starcluster plugin. You can execute the custom qconf commands you need to create the parallel environment and add it to the default queue. Use the SGE plugin as a reference.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps,</div><div>Adam</div>
