Opening qmon

There is graphical qmon tool that comes with SGE. That does not opens by default on node with errors such as:

Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*--14-*-*-*-p-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*--14-*-*-*-p-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*--20-*-*-*-p-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*--12-*-*-*-p-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*--24-*-*-*-p-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-courier-medium-r-*--14-*-*-*-m-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-courier-bold-r-*--14-*-*-*-m-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-courier-medium-r-*--12-*-*-*-m-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*--10-*-*-*-p-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  1087
  Current serial number in output stream:  1098

To solve this use:

yum -y install xorg-x11-*

After that qmon should open properly.


Checking version of install SGE

Use below command to check which version of sge is installed:

qstat -help 2>&1 | head -1 | cut -f 2 -d " "

At time of writing it was 8.1.9


Install location

Son of Grid Engine seems to have been installed at /opt/gridengine


Not maintained

Unfortunately both rocks and SGE do not seem to be maintained. The official site at http://arc.liv.ac.uk seems to be down. Best possible alternate options are:
