I am still working on the patch to submit jobs as the actual user under SGE . I have it working for the default case but it fails for the case of set_metadata_externally = TRUE. Can someone point me to where the metadata files are created so that I can change the permissions for those files? Also, I have to addusers to the galaxy group in order for this to work because the galaxy_*.sh scripts are created as executable only by members of the galaxy group. I want to change this so that all users can execute these scripts. Any help on where in the code these scripts are created? Upon completion I will create a galaxy central fork and upload my changes to it. Thanks, Ilya Ilya Chorny Ph.D. Bioinformatics - Intern ichorny@illumina.com<mailto:ichorny@illumina.com> 858-202-4582
