Hi,
You don't need a script to split the jobs on one machine. I used it on a
two processor PIII Linux running Rad Hat and it was decided by the machine
how to use the CPUs: load was always balanced depending on the total
number/load of other jobs. Ursula Pieper probably knows much more about
this.
Thanks,
Bozidar
