Simple wrapper for Sun Grid Engine's qrsh that propagates SGE environment variables and enables X forwarding

	#!/bin/sh
	# David Jones and Will Furnass (University of Sheffield)

	# `qrsh` is often the most convenient utility for starting interactive shell
	# sessions on Sun/Son of Grid Engine (SGE) clusters but it has some limitations (as
	# configured on the ShARC/Iceberg clusters):
	#
	# - none of the standard SGE environment vars (e.g. JOB_ID, PE_HOSTFILE,
	# NSLOTS) that are defined in qsub/qsh batch/interactive sessions are set
	# (annoying but not the end of the world);
