I don’t have time to write a new blog post but I wanted to put a quick note here that this script works perfectly fine with OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard” server. We’ll write a new post in the future documenting SGE 6.2 on OS X Server 10.6.x

There’s a modification to this script in the snowleopard version of inquiry.

Instead of running sge_qmaster by itself, it runs /common/sge/util/bootmaster.sh. This script contains the following code (on my system, at least):

————–cut-here—–>8——-
#!/bin/sh

hostname=`hostname`
while [ $hostname = 'localhost' ];
do
sleep 1
hostname=`hostname`
done
exec /common/sge/bin/darwin-x86/sge_qmaster
echo 99
—————–cut-here—-8<—-

Note: as the plist files were already present on the system, this script is not needed. I think.
