[Cook] Cook distributed build with load-balancing system

[Ryan Thompson]

I am interested in using the "virtual machine" ability to run a parallel
build in our batch compute environment (Platform LSF, similar to Sun Grid,
etc.).

Since this is not rsh or ssh I am not sure how it will work. I think I can
point the parallel_rsh variable to a script which does the job submission
(similar to using cook_rsh), but I am concerned by this paragraph in
"limitations":

"The exit status of the remote command is not reported in the exit status of
the rsh(1) command. There are internal contortions used by Cook to obtain
the exit status;"

Can you provide more information on what Cook will look for to determine the
exit status of the command named in "parallel_rsh"?

Thanks,
-Ryan Thompson
