GridEngine
From FarmShare
We're using the Debian packages of "Sun Grid Engine" which isn't quite "Sun" anymore since Oracle bought Sun, and the Debian packages are a bit behind the current forks of Open Grid Engine or Son of Grid Engine or Univa Grid Engine.

documentation
Start with 'man sge_intro'. Move on to 'man qsub'. Try submitting a simple job with 'echo "sleep 3600" | qsub", then run 'qstat' and 'qdel'.
shell mode
GE can run in "POSIX mode" or "Unix mode". See the "shell_start_mode" section of 'man sge_conf'
# qconf -sconf|grep shell shell_start_mode unix_behavior login_shells bash,sh,ksh,csh,tcsh
So you'll want to explicitly specify your shell with the -S flag to qsub. E.g.
# get rid of spurious messages about tty/terminal types #$ -S /bin/sh
