[PVFS-users] Running shell scripts off pvfs file system?

[Rob Ross]

This sounds like a trick question :).  How about this for an answer: I 
think running shell scripts should work, but if it doesn't we're probably 
not going to spend any time trying to track down why :).  It's pretty far 
off the path of what PVFS1 is intended for...
