## sge_pe_slave() — create a slave running on a Sun GridEngine parallel environment slave node

`sge_pe_slave(nodename)`

> This creates a new slave process, which runs on the slave node given by nodename as part of a Sun GridEngine (SGE) parallel job. The process is started using `'qrsh -inherit -V'`, so your SGE setup should be correctly configured to allow this. Generally you would use an `sge_pe_job` object instead, above, to automatically create slave processes for all SGE nodes.
