Adding Flux Agents
Flux Agents are a powerful add-on to Flux that are sold separately. Agents allow processes to be executed on remote computers to increase overall system throughput and to allow processes to run on computers that contain unique resources. By using the Flux Agent architecture, you can use lightweight Flux agents to run scripts, native executables, batch files, and processes on remote machines. The Operations Console also provides the ability to start, stop, interrupt, unregister, and shut down agents.
