Hi Reuti, Thanks but a GUI is a must in this case. The more graphical procedures you can carry out, the better. Samba is indeed a good solution, but not for this case. I have been looking at others proposals and I think I will go for PBSPro,... If costs do not soar too much. It seems it is licensed in a per-core basis... But I have read somewhere there are per-socket options... Also I would prefer perpetual licenses... Let's see what they propose.
LSF is another option but I have not yet received a quote. Thanks to all.
