Alternative to Sun Grid Engine

Does anybody know of a good alternative to Sun Grid Engine? It seems that Oracle is now charging for this software. I am running a HPC cluster that has Solaris 10 machines and I am adding some nodes that will be running Ubuntu 10.04, eventually the Solaris machines will be migrating to Ubuntu.

QRSTAT(1)						   Sun Grid Engine User Commands						 QRSTAT(1)

NAME
qrstat - show the status of Sun Grid Engine Advance Reservations (AR) SYNTAX
qrstat [-ar ar_id,...] [-help] [-u user,...] [-explain] DESCRIPTION
qrstat shows the current status of the available Sun Grid Engine ARs. The selection option -ar allows you to get information about spe- cific AR. The administrator and the user may define files which can contain any of the options described below. A cluster-wide sge_qrstat file may be placed under $SGE_ROOT/$SGE_CELL/common/sge_qrstat The user private file is searched at the location $HOME/.sge_qrstat. The home direc- tory request file has the highest precedence over the cluster global file. Command line can be used to override the flags contained in the files. OPTIONS
-ar ar_id,... Prints various information about the ARs identified by given ar_id list. -explain Displays the reason for the error state of an AR. Possible reasons are the unknown state of a host or queue instance. The output format for the alarm reasons is one line per reason. -help Prints a listing of all options. -u user,... Display information only for those ARs created by the users from the given user list. The string $user is a placeholder for the current username. An asterisk "*" can be used as username wildcard to request that all users' ARs be displayed. The default value for this switch is "-u $user". -xml This option can be used with all other options and changes the output to XML. The used schemas are referenced in the XML output. The output is printed to stdout. OUTPUT FORMATS
Depending on the presence or absence of the -ar option there are two output formats need to be differentiated. Advance Reservation Summary (without -ar) Following the header line, a section for each AR is provided. The columns contain information for o the AR id. o the name of the AR. o the current state of the AR. One of following states 'wWrEd". w - waiting without error W - warning (effective - waiting with error) r - running E - error (effective - running with error) d - deleted o the start time of the AR. o the end time of the AR. o the duration of the AR. Detailed Format (with -ar) The output contains two columns. The first one contains all AR attributes. The second one the corresponding value. ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
SGE_ROOT Specifies the location of the Sun Grid Engine standard configuration files. SGE_CELL If set, specifies the default Sun Grid Engine cell. To address a Sun Grid Engine cell qrstat uses (in the order of prece- dence): The name of the cell specified in the environment variable SGE_CELL, if it is set. The name of the default cell, i.e. default. SGE_DEBUG_LEVEL If set, specifies that debug information should be written to stderr. In addition the level of detail in which debug infor- mation is generated is defined. SGE_QMASTER_PORT If set, specifies the tcp port on which sge_qmaster(8) is expected to listen for communication requests. Most installations will use a services map entry for the service "sge_qmaster" instead to define that port. FILES
