Subject: Re: Scheduling jobs on PCs after work hours


Hi Mohit,

It's been a while, so my knowledge is probably somewhat outdated now. :} 
I can say that I've personally seen and worked with at a couple of 
successful Condor deployments where jobs were farmed out to 
(Windows-based) computing labs after hours, so it is definitely in 
real-world use.

I can't offer any suggestions for Ruby-based solutions to this problem- 
I don't know any. :/ Perhaps somebody on this list knows of some 
Ruby-based options?
