Hi Wei,

The problem is qconf is not in your default path when running execute.
This is because SGE is installed in /opt/sge6 and relies on
/etc/profile.d to setup the paths correctly. Unfortunately these configs
aren't automatically loaded when executing commands over SSH. For now
you can fix this using:

node.ssh.execute('source /etc/profile && qconf -mattr queue
load_thresholds np_load_avg=1.5 all.q')

In the upcoming version you can pass source_profile=True as a parameter
to execute which will do this for you.

With that said I'm working on making an SGE (now OGS) plugin which will
allow you to add custom SGE settings like the one you're applying
above. For those interested in contributing you can see the latest
progress in the 'sge-plugin' branch on github:

https://github.com/jtriley/StarCluster/blob/sge-plugin/starcluster/plugins/sge.py

This will allow you to do what your plugin is doing now:

[plugin sge]
setup_class = starcluster.plugins.sge.SGEPlugin
load_avg = 1.5
create_queues = myqueue, gpu
scheduling_interval = 5
....

If anyone's interested in contributing patches that implement such
options please fork the project on GitHUB, checkout the sge-plugin
branch, make the changes to SGEPlugin, and submit a pull request.
