You are probably refering to Torque. I had some difficulties about their license but finally came to the conclusion that it is actually DFSG compatible. The respective upload is overdue, I admit. If there is something you see the need to be discussed, then feel free to do so. "Torque" to me is something that I feel comfortable with. It could also be Sun Grid Engine or something else. If we are successful then we have learned and documented enough to become fairly flexible with the batch system to use.
