True, at the moment the plugin is not really useful.

+1

Well, there was not much done for this plugin since Martin left. I'm not sure 
if this plugin is really doable in a way that it makes sense. Since it uses 
GridFTP to access the proc filesystem to get the information about the 
processes it can only access information on servers which are running 
GridFTP. Those are not necessarily the servers where the jobs are running on 
(For example your job is running on some WN, but you are only able to access 
your CE using GridFTP. This would mean that you can only get information of 
jobs which are running directly on the CE (started by a fork-jobmanager), but 
I guess thats no typical case). Maybe Martin had some ideas how to handle 
that, I'll ask him when he is back in the office.


Cheers,
Thomas
