It's not "needed", but it's "available". Imagine you have a C application and/custom workflow controller and want to submit some jobs from inside the application, you would have to use something like the `system()` command or `execve()`or alike to have access to an external program like on the CLI. And then you would be bound to this particular queuing system, as there are commands like `qsub`, `sbatch`, `llsubmit` for different queuing systems to submit a job. Having DRMAA allows you to change the queuing system just by relinking your application (unless you used native arguments). Control of jobs I would say is only minimal in DRMAAv1, as you can't reconnect to a former DRMAA session. It will be better in DRMAAv2 though. -- Reuti _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
