Galaxy has an API that is capable of running tools - certainly this is one path forward on something like this. I am not sure it is the best path forward though. Probably the best way to enhance Galaxy's execution capabilities is to extend the Galaxy core framework itself - this has its own downsides though.
If you can offer more details about how you would like to enhance Galaxy - what it cannot do that you would like it to do - I or others may be able to provide more specific ideas. Otherwise, sorry I have not been or more help. -John On Tue, Feb 4, 2014 at 2:51 PM, Ketan Maheshwari <ke...@mcs.anl.gov> wrote: > Hi, > > This is a question I posted to galaxy user mailing list a while back and was > redirected to dev for possible answers: > Is it possible in Galaxy to design a tool whose sole purpose is to run other > tools.
