Controller

[rvighne]

Epic

Create a command line interface that lets the user specify the high level task plan to the client.

• The user must be able to use their existing knowledge of make to understand this interface.
• The user can run it in the same directory as a Makefile to initiate a distributed job.
• The user can use a subset of the command line arguments understood by make, in addition to the following:
  • The user can give an extra argument to specify the remote servers to be used in addition to, or instead of, the ones automatically discovered.
• The user will see progress reports as the job completes
• The controller will wait for job completion on behalf of the user, who can stop the job by stopping the controller program.
