WEB application with access in remote grid system with torque PBS, through django and pbs_python

[anonymous]

Hi, i am a beginner in torque PBS and i am trying to implement a web application which will provide access in some of the torque abilities through a graphical web ui made in django. (eg: qsub, qstat, qhold, qdel commands and some general information about the system like number of nodes used etc) So in order to use this python library, i had to install torque in my pc and then pbs_python-4.4.0 and everything is ok. My question is: what should i do, to make use of the same tools in a remote grid system which has only torque PBS installed. I have access in that system from terminal through ssh, with my credentials. Is there any possibility for remote access in that system using PBS_PYTHON? Should i install pbs_python-4.4.0 and django in that system making it host of my web application? Thanks in advance.

pbs_python connect to the pbs_server. So if you can use the torque utils (qstat, qdel, ..) on your local system. You can also use pbs_python package. You have to specify the pbs server in the connect call

If you only can use the torque utils from the mentioned grid system. You can install the pbs_python package in your home directory and use it.

Thank you. Is there a way to implement the pbs_connect() function, targeting a remote system, providing my credentials? Can you provide me a simple example? (Through the terminal i use: >ssh -l <username> <server_name>. Then it asks for my password and i am connected)

No there is no way to use pbs_connect as you described. pbs_server only allows connection from trusted hosts and uses some authentication protocol. So you can only pbs_python on nodes that are part of the cluster or allowed to connect

Ok, so i should install pbs_python in GRID's server and place my django web application in that server. One more question, does pbs_python provide tools-commands for torque account manipulation? (e.g. Create new user accounts, account log in)?

Yes that is plot.

What do you mean by this. Create logins on the system or use -A option in qsub?

Well how can i implement the -A option in qsub, in pbs python?
