Re: [ptp-dev] indigo & ptp 5 testing, pbs rm

P.S.  I only saw this on ember recently.  The code has not been touched (as far as I know) since SC10, and it was running against abe then.  But then abe is moribund anyway ...

I'd have to look, but my guess is that 5.0 proxy does not start because the first thing it tries to do is populate the queue information so it can send back the "model" information to the client.  If it is trying to do this using qstat -X it is probably failing.  I think in fact that when running it from the workspace this is what I saw on the error stream.
