[Condor-users] standard output: Permission denied (errno 13)

[Chance Reschke <Reschke@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I just set up a new Condor cluster and have been having trouble  
running even simple jobs.  Jobs are matched and begin to run, but  
immediately switch to state HOLD while complaining about failure to  
open the output file.  Strangely, the log file, which is located in  
the same directory as the output file is updated just fine (contents  
included below).  I have no trouble writing to files in in the output  
directory as the user in question.  This is a diskless cluster and  
all filesystems are NFS mounted, but NFS lock support is enabled.

Any help fixing this would be great - details below.

Thanks,

Chance

The Config file:

executable   = test.sh
universe     = vanilla

Log          = test.log.$(Process)
Output       = test.out.$(Process)
Error        = test.err.$(Process)
Arguments    = firstrun
queue


The executable:

#!/bin/sh

MyOutput=$1
typeset -i N
N=0
while [ $N -lt 6 ]; do
    # send something to stdout and stderr
    time echo $MyOutput
    sleep 10
    N=$N+1
done



The log file:

...
