[Beowulf] SGE web frontends

[Brian Henerey]

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'd also be interested to know 
if there are any open source web frontends for launching jobs on 
clusters. I've mostly written my own anyway, but if something's out 
there I'd like to know.

Thanks,
Brian Henerey
