sge_pe_slave() -- create a slave running on a Sun GridEngine parallel environment slave node

sge_pe_slave(nodename)
This creates a new slave process, which runs on the slave node given by nodename as part of a Sun GridEngine (SGE) parallel job. The process is started using 'qrsh -inherit -V', so your SGE setup should be correctly configured to allow this. Generally you would use an sge_pe_job object instead, above, to automatically create slave processes for all SGE nodes.
