[Beowulf] quick and dirty method for starting job on another node?

[Stuart Midgley]

The best thing is pdsh from llnl.  It uses a tree structure to limit 
the number of threads required, produces sensible output on return 
(numbers which node did what output), is fast, stable and reliable.  It 
also has quite a nice syntax for specifying nodes.

Can be used with ssh/rsh as required.

pdcp is also very useful :)
