Hi, 

Does anyone know of a simple resource manager that would, say, spawn
the next new task on the host which is running the fewest PVM tasks?

The usual PVM algorithm is problematic if I add a machine while a
program is running and the code is smart enough to spawn a new process
in response.  Usually the new process goes somewhere other than the
new machine.  Perhaps I'm doing this wrong?
