Initial test

  • From a user account, it should be possible to use a 'Hello World' job submitting, as well as an interactive shell on a WN
  • The job results are as files STDIN.o<JOBID> (std-output) and STDIN.e<JOBID> (std-error).
  • Test MAUI
  • The test on the gLite-CE should work as edginfo user configuration of gLite-packages.
  • To check the status of the job query, the qstat command is used within the lifetime of submitted jobs.
