SGE launchd script maker for Apple OS X 10.5 Leopard
We now have a perl script that will automatically create site-appropriate launchd plist files for Grid Engine – the files are constructed by querying the SGE environment variables and running one of the SGE utility scripts. This may be a more convenient method than downloading our plist files and hand-editing them via the Apple plist editor program.
