[Condor-users] Job Submission Problem

["Saurabh Agarwal" <sagarwa1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody,

I have a job which is run as ./executable_name < in.input. 
The "in.input" file is a plain text file, but has information to read another file called as "in.data". All the files are stored in the same directory along with the executable. Following is the condor script I am using to submit my job. However, when the job starts executing, it fails to read "in.data" file, which is supplied in the same directory. Kindly, let me know where am I doing wrong. Following is the condor script which I am using to submit this job:

Universe = parallel
initialdir = /backup/benchmark_condor/
Executable = mp1script
#WantIOProxy = True
Output = benchmark.out
Error = benchmark.err
Log = benchmark.log
machine_count = 11
getenv = True
should_transfer_files = yes
when_to_transfer_output = on_exit_or_evict
Queue

The executable mp1script  is just a simple command like :

# Set this to the bin directory of MPICH installation
MPDIR=/usr/local/bin
PATH=$MPDIR:.:$PATH
export PATH

## run the actual mpijob
mpirun -v -np $_CONDOR_NPROCS /backup/benchmark_condor/executableName < /backup/benchmark_condor/in.input

I have condor 6.8.6 installed on 3 of my machines and is running successfully other MPI jobs in which I am just redirecting stdin, and not reading any other file.
