Re: [Condor-users] Args not found error

[Dan Bradley <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ryan,

There was a bug in 6.7.15 through 6.7.17 that caused an incompatibility  
problem when submitting jobs from these versions to an older starter  
(in your case 6.7.14).  Am I guessing correctly that you submitted the  
job from a 6.7.15-6.7.17 schedd?

Upgrading to 6.7.18 should solve the problem.  Another possible  
workaround is to always use the "old style" arguments syntax in your  
submit file (no quoting) and if you have no arguments at all, to  
explicitly set arguments to an empty value in your submit file.   
Example:

arguments=

--Dan
