[galaxy-dev] Job Control in Galaxy

Hi,

We have configured our Galaxy system to use Sun Grid Engine in shared mode. We noticed that on submission of a job that running qstat does not show the jobs status. It looks the a wrapper shell script defining the environment and the command(s) is being submitted and then as far as SGE is concerned the job is done (however, the job is still running on the application server).

I don't understand when using this system how you can manage submitted jobs. Isn't the point of using a queuing system like SGE that you can manage the load on the servers using the SGE configuration tool (qconf) to control the queues? Or am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks for any advice,

Steve
