Requirements:

1 When run this script over a network, the directory where you

run the scripts and the input files must be available on all the remote hosts with identical path.

2 If you choose "ssh" to submit jobs, you have to have

passwordless ssh to any remote host, see ssh manual to know how to set up passwordless ssh.

3 I suggest to use queuing system instead of ssh,

I currently support PBS and SGE

4 cd-hit-2d cd-hit-est-2d cd-hit-div cd-hit-div.pl must be

in same directory where this script is in.

--S2 Number of segments to split 2nd db into, default 8
