pbs_weblite version 0.95

Summary:
PBSWeb-Lite is a simple web-based interface to PBS/Torque.

Supported systems:
PBSWeb-Lite  should work on all systems.

Overview:
PBSWeb-Lite is a simple web-based interface to PBS/Torque. This PHP 
program is based on Paul Lu's PBSWeb 
<http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/%7Epinchak/PBSWeb/> code, with substantial 
re-writing. Since most of the PHP files have been re-written by me, I 
think it is inappropriate to keep calling it "PBSWeb". However, I really 
don't know how to call it. So I'll call this modified version of PBSWeb 
as "PBSWeb-Lite", at this moment. Actually I would welcome any 
suggestion for a new name for this set of PHP scripts (TorqueWeb? :).


PBSWeb-Lite 0.95 is available here:

I have put together a website for this package:

Thanks for works done by Paul Lu et al. Without PBSWeb, there will be no 
PBSWeb-Lite.

This is the first release of PBSWeb-Lite. PBSWeb-Lite is a substantial 
re-writing of Paul Lu's PBSWeb 
<http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/%7Epinchak/PBSWeb/> codes. Here is a list of 
differences between PBSWeb and PBSWeb-Lite 0.9 (BUTF Release):

    * All PostgreSQL related codes in PBSWeb were removed. PBSWeb-Lite
      does not depend on a SQL server, and all required parameters are
      stored in a config file (config.php).

    * Accounts for PBSWeb-Lite are now directly integrated with the Un*x
      system accounts. PBSWeb-Lite use a simple C program (spasswd.c) to
      validate username and password (assume shadow password!).

    * PBSWeb-Lite support templates for generating PBS scripts. Also,
      now it is possible to create a new job based on a previously saved
      jobscript.

    * PBSWeb-Lite has a simple web-based file manager that can help user
      to view/download/delete PBS input and output files.
    *

    * And many other minor changes that I have forgotten.

Read the README file in the package for the instruction for the 
installation of PBSWeb-Lite.
