As qmon is as much an admin tool as a graphical frontent to the -client
binaries, I suggest gridengine-qmon rather.  Or maybe gridengine-admin,
but dunno.

I had a look at qmon from a different installation last week for the
first time and was not overly impressed.  It apparently does not even
auto-update the jobs list if one job gets from queued->running state,
you need to hit refresh it seems.  Plus maybe 85% of its functionality
is only available to the manager users.

I think it makes sense to ship it in a seperate package (though I don't
think it's urgent), but I'd be cautious to spin it as the rule-them-all
solution to cluster management.

No idea; I've never used them.  If one of you uses them/needs them, we
could take a look; otherwise we could just watch out for wishlist bugs
requesting them maybe.
