SGE Qmon Fonts

SGE's Qmon seems to choose some old-fashioned fonts which are not available out-of-the-box on some modern Linux distros' X-server. This can result in empty dotted rectangles syndrome. The simplest solution: change everything to "fixed".

Yes, you could install required fonts, change your font configuration. . .

Copy $SGE_ROOT/qmon/Qmon to $HOME on the HPC/SGE box, e.g.,

  root@hpc> cp /usr/local/sge60u8/qmon/Qmon /root

then change these lines
