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

[Ricky Tang Siu Hong]

Hello,

Have you use Cluster-it tools pack?
http://www.garbled.net/clusterit.html
It also provides improved dsh (over rsh or ssh), pcp, and dvt - distributed 
terminal program that let you control multiple X windows at a time, very 
handy for me.

Want to know how is llnl compared to clusterit.

Ricky.
