[Condor-users] my_popen and condor_shadow.std.exe don't exist

["Jeffrey Stephen" <Stephen.Jeffrey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I have a cluster consisting of two Windows XP machines: a central manager and one execute machine.

 

When condor starts on the execute the machine, there is an error message stating that my_popen failed, and subsequently condor_shadow.pvm.exe and condor_shadow.std.exe failed. I can't find my_popen or condor_shadow.pvm.exe/condor_shadow.std.exe on either the central manager or execute machine. There is a condor_shadow.exe under condor/bin. I am using condor 6.8.4.

 

ScheddLog on the execute machine contains:

When I try to run an MPI job, the job appears to remain idle in the queue. An error message appears in the ScheddLog on the central manager, stating that "Shadow" exited with status 4. Does anyone know what "status 4" means? Is this related to the my_popen/condor_shadow.pvm.exe/condor_shadow.std.exe problem reported when condor starts on the execute machine?
