If the intent of the DRMAA API was unclear,
we should add a sentence.
My suspicion is that intent was clear, but the
DRMAA(SGE) user was confused why "-sync y"
didn't work.

All,
I just had a discussion on the SGE mailing list that should probably be
a tracker for the IDL spec. A user attempted to use the "-sync y"
option in the DRMAA native specification attribute, and was confused as
to why it didn't work. -sync tells the SGE qsub command to block until
the job finishes. The user wanted to bypass the drmaa_wait() call by
doing a blocking drmaa_run_job() call. I looked through the DRMAA spec
and the IDL spec, and neither actually declares whether the job
submission routines should return before the job completes or not.
That's probably an important detail that should be included.
Daniel
