I'm looking to run any job, not MPI in particular.  Though I seem to 
remember someone telling me some time ago that there's nothing about the 
dedicated scheduler that forces a program to be an MPI program.

I've just looked through an old e-mail and found that the dedicated 
scheduler doesn't require a program to be an MPI program, only that it 
must start up using MPICH's ch_p4 method.  So it appears that the 
testing mode example is the way to go for me.

Thanks.
