I think that condor is probably one of the most impressive open source code out there.
They simplicity and the face that it is working on Unix Linux and Windows make this one of the best grid solution.
One thing how ever that is missing is a gui web management.
As we can see there are some option in the community, but I kind of surprise that no one have put an effort in the condor dev group to build some web tool.
SGE has a great tool for that and Maui and Troque also has some web management.
I don't know about Globus, but as what I saw from RedHat This look like a good promising starting point.
I also found a cool open source project name gridway (
http://www.gridway.org/doku.php?id=start) which is kind of a high level grid management language that can condor, SGE, Globus etc...
Maybe write a Ruby or Python web management for gridway can give the best in all worlds.
One Gui that can take advantage of the gridway code and control any grid system you have.
Thanks for all the ppl who provide this help and info

Replying to this early email from Mag... just to refresh minds - there was also another project introduced by Rimvydas Alekseijuns in March - see attachment...
Said that and seeing later posted emails in this thread, I think there is quite big interest in condor web interface in general. We are also a little group of people interested in open project which can be deployed and used on top of condor easily in order to monitor/manage the jobs.
Fact is, that every little group using the condor develops own code which makes their life easier running and monitoring the jobs...
Very frequent question for anyone new jumping into pretty large condor users community is, what direction to go interfacing condor? For instance, several tips were proposed in last days by several people:
By Condor (outdated and not in development):
Timothy St. Clair, Matthew Farrellee (RedHat)
Ben Burnett:
Found by Sussy Natan:
Rimvydas Alekseijuns:

I've basically summed up here common idea of few interesting projects which are independent of each other. One can pick whatever seems for her/him interesting, but without any evaluation of individual testing, because users requirements always vary, it's difficult to decide where to contribute too and not just take part of code and customize. Spending time trying out all approaches might be pain but worth of make decision then fast...
@Mag, you've metioned start up an open source project of Kevin's approach and then you liked to contribute to Matt's stuff, etc... What about to create a framework in order to test "condor monitors" which will result in ideas how to enhance functionality and what other consumers can take from different monitoring tools on top of condor... Framework might be used then by all who develops tools on their own best effort to facilitate their "business", and in this way concurrently provide useful feedback to condor coders in my opinion ... Condor folks can read behind the lines and also bring up many of condor core enhancements and future ideas where users can contribute.
Just typing as thinking, it wasn't intended make it so long :) - this is message to condor readers - in case of anyone wants to catch up and comment too...
Regards,
Marian
PS: Btw, we would like to contribute too, but still not sure to which condor web interface, anyone needs help? :)
