The jobmanager you talk about is part of globus toolkit, wich natively
supports Fork, PBS/LSF and Condor.

Note that Fork creates another process to run the job, but PBS and
Condor are schedulers which run the jobs according to the availability
of resources, i.e., they are far more elaborated.

I am currently working with Globus, Condor and Sun Grid Engine (1) as
an alternative to Condor. The jobmanager for Grid Engine can be found
in (2).
