From Java CoG Kit

This component enables users to use qstat and qsub from their client machines, providing a GUI functionality for monitoring the queue state as well as submitting jobs. At this time we have support for two queueing systems: Cobalt, used by ANL Blue Gene, and PBS, used by UC/ANL TeraGrid. The component can easily be installed via Java Webstart by following the install link. The component also contains XML and HTML output functions that can be used to build portals including the information returned by qstat. If you would like to get more information about the component or the source, please contact gregor@mcs.anl.gov.
