[drmaa-wg] DRMAA & Cluster Info

[Daniel Templeton]

Doug,

Information about the underlying DRM is outside of the current DRMAA
specification's scope.  There is some chance that such functionality may
be addressed in a next generation of the DRMAA spec, but those plans are
not yet firm.

In the meantime, if you're using SGE, you can use qstat -xml to get
cluster information in an XML format.
