submiting command

You can submit either comman or scripts.

Script submited on a resource of type machine will be sshed on the host

Once a resource is attributed to a job, the script is transformed, changing the following varaibles (see examples/*.sh)

$(machinefile} (for cluster type resource) ${nbmachines} (for cluster type resource) ${host} (for machine type resource) ${jobid}

At submition time, a directory with the job number (incremented integer) is created, where stdout/err will be written.

There will also have a batch.properties file (pids, start time etc. etc.)
