BBQ is a basic queuing system, without the site-wide scheduling and
other sophisticated features found in PBSPro.

We wanted to provide an easy to use queue for users that just need a few
jobs to occur sequentially.  We continue to recommend PBSPro for
commercial use.

Easy test: If you already know that you need a site-wide
scheduling/queueing system, you probably want PBSPro.

And yes, BBQ is a great name ;->
