[torqueusers] Torque module for pdsh ?

[Brian O'Connor]

Hmm,

     Torque is a batch scheduler not a cluster administration package.

Check out OSCAR http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki
or rocks. http://www.rocksclusters.org/

Both of these are excellent packages that include lots of cluster admin
goodness.

I vote for oscar, OSCAR includes the c3(cluster command and control)
from
ornl http://www.csm.ornl.gov/torc/C3/index.html

OSCAR (and rocks) both support torque out of the box.
