job scheduler

[aravindtn]

hi
i want to design a scheduler. the jobs that are to be scheduled are stored in a file. the function of the scheduler is to distribute various threads of the jobs to different systems on a network according to some criteria.

Cool.

Was there a question in there? Did you need something from us?

sorry.. i clicked on the submit tab by mistake before typing the whole question....
tis is my question-
a file is there which contains the jobs(applicatio ns) to be performed.. is there any way to extract the processes(or threads) associated with that particular application.. so that i can sent the threads over the network for distributed computing?

Sounds like you're programming this - what language is this in?

Yes, but seeing as how you already angered most of the people in the PERL Forum by not following the Posting Guidelines, I'm not sure where you'd go from here.

However, if I may be so impertinent as to suggest a method of recourse here:

Do your homework. Google this. As soon as you find an article on it, Google everything you don't know in that article. Then Google another article. Eventually, you'll get a solid idea of what you are trying to do. Then, you can try to program it. After you've tried to program it, and have code that proves you weren't just messing around trying to fake trying to program it, post again with a specific question about your code.

If you're stuck on places to start, then Google 'scheduler' with your OS, and then 'perl tutorial'.
