[Moabusers] Including external files into moab.cfg ?

[Douglas Wightman]

Chris,

Moab can read other files using the INCLUDE parameter:

http://www.clusterresources.com/products/mwm/docs/a.fparameters.shtml#include

Please note that Moab only reads this file once at startup.  There are 
some sites that use this mechanism along with a script that 
automatically recycles Moab.
