So not a plan. Different granularities. The "workflow script" is a *plan* for a specific *process execution* like "Move files", *controlled* by an agent "Script runner". On a different level, the "script runner" itself might also be a *process execution*, which uses the "workflow script" as an input. In this case the script runner is controlled by the user who started it in the terminal, and uses the "/bin/bash" binary as a plan. You might or might not express this in two different accounts. I don't see any reason why it couldn't be done in the same account, except it gets messy. -- Stian Soiland-Reyes, myGrid team School of Computer Science The University of Manchester
