[kepler-users] A question on Kepler startup

[Giaiotti Dario]

Dear list,

I am new in kepler and I have installed kepler version 2.2
on the master node of  linux clsuter

Linux  2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Nov 3 16:12:36 EST 2009 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It works, but it takes a while, one or two minutes, when it is launched.
  Kepler is called by means of the following script

========================================
#!/bin/bash
# This script starts Kepler.
# Run with -h to see all command-line options.
# This script is auto-generated.

CUR_DIR=`pwd`
SCRIPT_DIR=`dirname $BASH_SOURCE`
cd $SCRIPT_DIR
#java -classpath build-area/lib/ant.jar:kepler.jar
org.kepler.build.runner.Kepler  "$@"
java -verbose   -classpath build-area/lib/ant.jar:kepler.jar
org.kepler.build.runner.Kepler  "$@"
cd $CUR_DIR
=========================================

Is it normal it takes that time before to prompt the interface?
May be there is some configuration I have to set up to avoid all cluster
users wait for that time every time they call Kepler.

Many thanks in advance,

Dario

The stdout after the kepler script launch is the following. I removed
the first part
