@Bryan: this is great! In fact, https://sge-jobs.toolforge.org/tool/huji completely serves my current needs. I added the links to the Grid page on the Wikitech wiki <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help%3AToolforge%2FGrid&type=revision&diff=1911745&oldid=1907595> .
@Brooke: thanks for the -xml idea. As it turns out, that is what Bryan's code uses too. Nevertheless, I cannot get it to work. The PHP code shown below returns a blank page at https://huji.toolforge.org/status.php <?php $out = shell_exec('qstat -xml'); print_r($out); In fact, I even went so far as using the exact command I found in Bryan's code which is /usr/bin/qstat -xml -j '*' | /bin/sed -e 's/JATASK:[^>]*/jatask/g' but even that results in a blank output on the web. On the command line, both of those return an XML as expected. Any ideas as to how that could be the case?
