Then I tried to run the test example "sh_loop" under condor-6.6.11/examples as user condor by condor_submit sh_loop.cmd on my master node. The job terminated normally. However, when I tried to submit the sh_loop.cmd on my slave node I got shadow exception error message in file sh_loop.log as below:

I'm new to Condor myself, and this is a lesson I learned today: Shadow
exceptions can happen for lots of reasons, and you need to look at the
StarterLog on the node where the job was running in order to get more
information.  Reference:

http://docs.optena.com/display/CONDOR/Shadow+Exception

That site, based at:

http://docs.optena.com/display/CONDOR/Troubleshooting

...has lots of good info for newbies who don't know what's going wrong
with their Condor cluster.
