Thank you Ed, this is exactly what I was looking for.
Next time, I'll check out the config file first before asking.

Jean-Pierre.
This option is a setting in the configuration file for star cluster.
Use the SGE plugin instead of the automatic queue setup.
[plugin sge]
setup_class = starcluster.plugins.sge.SGEPluginmaster_is_exec_host = False
Following argument excludes master as execution host.
Be sure to set the queue command to false before executing the SGE plugin.
Something like:
[cluster smallcluster]disable_queue = Trueplugins = sge
Hope this helps.

Hi all,
usually I use a "cheap" master node when I'm running starcluster on spot instances.
And usually, I launch my jobs with that kind of command :
qsub -b y -cwd -pe orte 24 mpirun ./mpi-executable arg1 arg2
I was wondering, how could I exclude the master node from the list of nodes running the job. Since the master node is slower in my case, it clearly affects the efficiency of the computation.
Cheers
JP
