Need Advanced Enterprise Scheduling on Windows?

[Guest carl]

Greetings All,

 

I'm working on a specification for an Enterprise-class Open Source

batch scheduler, and I really would like some expert commentary from

experienced Ops/Systems people. Please have a look at:

 

http://openjcs.sourceforge.net

 

and the specification to date at:

 

http://openjcs.sourceforge.net/doc/OpenJCS-arch.pdf

 

Frankly, I'm of two minds about it. Half of me thinks it's massive

overkill, and the other half thinks I must be missing something really

important. Let me know what you think. I really do want your honest

opinion, good, bad or indifferent.

 

Also, it has been suggested that the specification might be useful if

ported to Windows (originally, I was just planning to do a Unix port).

How useful would a tool like this be to you in your day-to-day

operations? Do you think there is a big enough market to warrant cross-

platform support?
