[Condor-users] Behaviour of Windows "copy" command?

[Rob Fletcher <rpf1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

If I submit a simple windows batch jop thus:


rem Test file copy operations
rem
rem
echo Testing 0 > %CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR%test0.txt
copy test0.txt test1.txt
copy %CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR%test0.txt %CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR%test2.txt
copy test0.txt c:\windows\temp\test3.txt
copy c:\windows\temp\test3.txt %CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR%test3.txt
copy test0.txt c:\condor\execute\test4.txt
copy c:\condor\execute\test4.txt %CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR%test4.txt


I happily receive back the files ... test0.txt test1.txt and test2.txt

any files which are copied around do not come back!

The file test3.txt is created in c:\windows\temp, but is not copied back
to the scratch dir and then onto the submitter!

But, I see no file in c:\condor\execute at all ...

Any ideas? I need to copy files around as I have software with hard coded
paths for its output files and need to copy them to the temporary condor
execute folder for automagic file transfer back to the submitter ...

Thanks,

Rob
