Resource Broker (Beta) for ScotGrid

Through the wonders of YAIM and cfengine, I was able to setup an lcg-RB on svr023 in two cfengine lines: download metapackage, run configure_node.

And it works! I got output back from my first job:

The jobs did, however, run really slowly as R-GMA managed to lock-up twice on me and need restarted. I'm really fed up with this, so I have started an Ops Logbook for the site to at least log these issues in a consistent way.

If anyone has a nagios/cfengine recipe for restarting R-GMA I'd be glad to use it.
