It is possible to submit very short jobs directly to a CE using the globus-job-run command. For example:-
globus-job-run lcgce02.gridpp.rl.ac.uk /bin/pwd and globus-job-run lcgce02.gridpp.rl.ac.uk /usr/bin/whoamiThis command is extremely useful for checking things like the environment and setup up of a CE.
