Regarding the Yes/No, I seem to remember there was a little issue, but then I was lucky to figure it out quickly from the plist. A bool would show as or , while the xgrid plist was using the tags. Duh! Nice pace, Ed, on the code. I wish I had more time to do more stuff. I will probably have a close look at the Keychain code, as I wanted to add this. I jsut had an idea/feature request on your pref pane and global grid setting. One thing you could do is instead allow the user to add a list of grids (and have one setup as default for now). But in the future, the XgridDRMAA could add a scheduler layer when several grids are available so it looks like one big grid from the outside. Well, on the other hand, DRMAA is useful to build a metascheduler that makes a bunch of grids (Xgrid and not) look like one big cluster, so the scheduler code would probably be above XgridDRMAA, but well, just an idea. Finally, I really like the idea of perfecting a good general purpose "xgrid_drmaa_proxy". I have been using a number of adhoc wrapping scrpipts, and I am curious to see what you came up with.
