We're running Autobuild composite omit on a large cluster, each node has 8 processors.  Autobuild submits jobs with the "run_command".  And it appears that each of those jobs submit other jobs. Are the latter jobs necessary?  That is, are there situtations where they wouldn't be submitted as separate jobs but run as subprocesses?  Currently nodes in our cluster don't have capability of qsubing new jobs, but we are in the process of changing this.

Thanks, Mark
