I was in touch with the Pasteur group a few months ago regarding Pise. According to the admins at Pasteur (then), Pise simply generates the HTML and CGI parts that are displayed at http://bioweb.pasteur.fr. Since I haven't looked at the new release, I cannot say if it has changed. Bioweb runs on 3 DECalphas (2 duals), with a DEC queuing system called LSF. They distinguish between 2 types of access - internal and external. Internal jobs run with an interactive priority while external jobs are limited to a fixed number and run with a lower priority. <snip> -j ------------------------ J.
