Allow to specify queue name

[davidavdav]

Any progress on this subject? I have a local copy of ClusterManagers where I have hacked in the name of my referred queue in the code, but that is not really a long term solution.

Thanks

Can you submit a PR? This should be generally useful.

I would---and I stated a while ago, but I got stuck at passing options to lauch(). There is an config Dict, but I can't see how I can get any additional info in there. Addprocs_sge() calls addprocs() which calls Base.addprocs_internal() and this last function does not allow any additional options/arguments.

Should I first submit a PR to Base to add an extra option just for qsub?

With the caveat that I've never used any of these systems: how about making queue a variable of the two ClusterManager subtypes? So if queue is a parameter of the types then you can set it up in the call to addprocs_sge (which you have to call anyway, right?). Something like:

immutable SGEManager <: ClusterManager
  queue::ASCIIString
end
addprocs_sge(np::Integer; queue = "") = addprocs(np, manager=SGEManager(queue))
...(and add it to qsub -q when available)...

Thanks,

This is indeed a perfect approach, I think. I'll test this now shortly,
