What was your problem with it? I have tried to use Condor for a couple things recently and was annoyed enough by it I concluded Gearman was probably the better approach, though I haven't used Gearman. For the record, Condor probably works fine for its primary use case, which is long running single threaded processes on Unix that eat an input file and spit out an output file before terminating. I was trying to use it to have a bunch of processes on Windows that also occasionally write to a database. Was also trying to tag "slots" on specific machines to use certain installed dependencies. I advise against trying to use Condor and Windows, or on trying to use any of its advertised advanced features beyond the basic "standard" or "universe" model. Have had no end of trouble with the "stored credentials" feature that lets you run a process under a specific account.
