Hello,
We plan to have a single dual-processor quad core box, ie, a 8-core linux machine. We want to have the jobs submitted by users should go through queues. I have searched for some utilities like those available on IRIX/AIX/DEC (bsub, qsub, etc) but I did not find any. Could you please direct me to any particular tool if I missed?

Thanks,
