GEmonitor installation

Word of warning

This code has not been security proofed. There is an inherent danger to accepting user input which is then used to execute outside scripts. Preventive steps have been taken but there are no guarantees. In particular the view allows users to click on a username and show only that users jobs. Feel free to look through the code and if you feel it is secure I will remove this warning.

This code can be extremely dangerous so I would not place it in unsafe environment especially allowing unrestricted access from the internet.

Requirements

PHP enabled web server ie. Apache
Web server host needs to be added as a submit host
userid web server is running as ie. nobody needs to be able to execute qstat, qhost etc.

Installation

Download the current GEMonitor tarball e.g. gemonitor-0.3.tar.gz
Place it somewhere in your webserver document root ie. /var/www/html
Untar it with

tar -zxvf gemonitor-0.9.tar.gz

A directory called gemonitor-0.9 will be created. Rename it to what you want.
Now make sure you have couple PHP PEAR libraries installed. PEAR is a set of PHP libraries similar to Perl's CPAN. You need to have HTML_Common and HTML_Table libraries installed for SGEMonitor to work. To check for its existence type

pear list
If you don't see those to on the list type
pear install HTML_Common
pear install HTML_Table

If successful with 5. go to configuration

Configuration

To install please renamed sample_config.php to config.php and edit

Set the SGE_ROOT to where SGE is installed
Set the WEBSERVER_PLATFORM to the OS that webserver/gemonitor is running on ie. glinux for Linux, lx24-amd64 for Linux on AMD64 platform or darwin for MacOS X. Look under $SGE_ROOT/bin to see what platforms you are supporting

Usage

You are done. Now you can go to these two URLs ie.

http://webserver/gemonitor/

and

http://webserver/gemonitor/admin.php
