Abstract: autoson is a tool for scheduling independent processes across a network of UNIX workstations. It provides a type of distributed batch queue that enables execution of a stream of processes in a flexible and convenient manner with minimum impact on interactive users.

autoson can run as a single-user private system, or as a shared resource for multiple users. Support is provided for local networks consisting of any mixture of hosts running Solaris One, Solaris Two, IRIX, OSF1, ULTRIX, HP-UX or Linux. The only requirement is a common file-system.
