[Condor-users] Debugging Interactive Jobs

[Paul Brasnett <Paul.Brasnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to debug an application that is not running correctly on 
Windows XP machines with Condor v6.6.6. However, I am not having any 
success with interactive debugging. I have set USE_VISIBLE_DESKTOP = True 
on my local machine and use the following submission file:

Executable = cmd.exe
Universe = vanilla
Requirements = (Machine == "my.machine")
should_transfer_files = YES
when_to_transfer_output = ON_EXIT
transfer_input_files = test.exe
transfer_executable = FALSE
arguments = /K
log = mat.log
Output = mat.out
Error = mat.err
Queue 1

I get the following output in the ShadowLog file:

9/15 15:26:42 (129.0) (2420): entering FileTransfer::Upload
9/15 15:26:42 (129.0) (2420): entering FileTransfer::DoUpload

on execute machine (137.xxx.xxx.xxx)" at line 63 in file 
..\src\condor_shadow.V6.1\NTreceivers.C

And from the StarterLog

9/15 15:45:13 ShutdownFast all jobs.
9/15 15:45:13 Got ShutdownFast when no jobs running.


I'm looking for suggestions on what could be causing this problem and what 
can be done to solve the problem.

Thanks in advance,

Paul.
