[Condor-users] difficulty with putting a wrapper around condor_submit

[Preston Smith <psmith@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We're running a wrapper around condor_submit to require project numbers
be specified as a ClassAd, (and to check them for validity).

The wrapper looks in a couple different places for the user to specify,
their project, and uses -a and the real condor_submit to slip it into  
the job ad.

   exec "/opt/condor/bin/condor_submit.real  -append +Project= 
\"$PROJECT\" @_ ";

This works great just submitting regular jobs, but with dagman it  
works less well:

9/21 10:23:21 Submitting Condor Node A job(s)...
9/21 10:23:21 submitting: condor_submit -a dag_node_name' '=' 'A -a  
+DAGManJobId
' '=' '9613 -a DAGManJobId' '=' '9613 -a submit_event_notes' '='  
'DAG' 'Node:' '
A -a +DAGParentNodeNames' '=' '"" /home/rcac/psmith/condor/test.submit
9/21 10:23:21 From submit: /opt/condor/bin/condor_submit  -append  
+Project="12345" -a dag_node_name = A -a +DAGManJobId = 9613 -a  
DAGManJobId = 9613 -
a submit_event_notes = DAG Node: A -a +DAGParentNodeNames = "" /home/ 
rcac/psmith
/condor/tgtest.submit
9/21 10:23:21 From submit: Submitting job(s)
9/21 10:23:21 From submit: ERROR: Failed to parse -a argument line (#2).
9/21 10:23:21 failed while reading from pipe.
9/21 10:23:21 Read so far: /opt/condor/bin/condor_submit  -append  
+Project="12345" -a dag_node_name = A -a +DAGManJobId = 9613 -a  
DAGManJobId = 9613 -
a submit_event_notes = DAG Node: A -a +DAGParentNodeNames = "" /home/ 
rcac/psmith
/condor/test.submit Submitting job(s)ERROR: Failed to parse -a  
argument line (
#2).
9/21 10:23:21 ERROR: submit attempt failed


I've stared at this for parts of a couple days, but I can't figure  
out what it's complaining about.

Any ideas what's going wrong? The "failed while reading from pipe"
message makes me wonder if dagman is sending STDIN to condor_submit,  
which I
know that my wrapper script doesn't grok.
