[Beowulf] scheduler and perl

[Xu, Jerry]

Hi, I am maintaining a cluster while lots user uses perl to submit tons of jobs
which seems to me like abusing the system.

Does everybody meet the same situation? Many user us system call in the perl to
do "qsub", shall I ban this? I don't know exactly why it is bad, but it looks to
me really bad. Anybody can give me a good reason to ban it with better
explanation?

Sincerely
