However, the 1.4 separation work was with the express purpose of supporting MyProxy natively. So, if you are in the situation where you want long running jobs, here's how to enable that:
credentials = MyProxy
in your gqsubrc file.
And then forget about it. When it's needed to refresh credentials, you will be prompted for the passphrase for the certificate. Let the computer work out what's needed, and get on with the research ... Hrm, that would make a good motto for gqsub.
This does assume that the user interface machine is set up for MyProxy appropriately.
The other alternative for credentials is 'PlainVoms', which menas to use an ordinary proxy certificate.
At some point, I'll be extending this to allow for the voms-proxy-from-proxy mechanism used in some UI's - that will make it simpler to use on non-institutional UI machines.
