Network Remote Job Entry Program - NETRJS
Since October 1971 we, at the University of Utah, have had very large
compute bound jobs running continuously. These jobs did reduce
response time on our PDP-10 for the other Tenex users.
Since February we have been submitting jobs to the UCLA 360/91. Our
normal mode of operation is diagrammed below.

USER
To use NETRJS the user creates a job file under the Tenex system. He
then requests NETRJS to send that file to the UCLA RJS (Remote Job
Service System). Using NETRJS, the user is able to monitor the
progress of his job. When RJS notifies the user that his job output
is ready to be picked up, the user can request NETRJS to retrieve his
output ("printed" or "punched") to a local file.
