Ability to Access Job Ids Across Sessions

[cancan101]

Is there anyway that I can save the job id of a long running task and then check its status from another Session? I understand that I can re-start the session as long as I have the contact for that session but that requirement seems silly since using just the jobid I can run qstat.

I'm not sure if that would work or not, you'd have to test it out yourself. When you call session.runJob(), it returns the job ID, so you could always save that and see if you can access it from another session. If you cannot, then this is a limitation of the DRMAA standard.
