Just a quick question on everyones favourite subject, escaping/ quoting ;-(

I'm trying to get an evironment variable into the RSL for a job using Condor-G
and if I try this with globusrun it works a treat:

&(executable=/usr/ngs/PCGAMESS)(arguments= -r -f -p -i $(HOME)/ bench11.inp -o /home/ngs0456/bench_output -ex /apps/pcgamess/7.x/bin) (jobType=mpi)(count = 8)(stdout=StdOut.txt)(stderr=StdErr.txt)

This will no doubt break wrongly because of the mail system but the important bit is $(HOME) which should expand as an environment variable on the remote system.

In my Condor-G job description file, I started with

arguments= -r -f -p -i $(HOME)/bench11.inp -o /home/ngs0456/ bench_output -ex /apps/pc-gamess/7.x/bin

and have tried seemingly every combination of backslashes and quotes on the $(HOME) bit but I still can't
get the right effect.


Your best bet is to use globus_rsl to set the arguments:

globus_rsl = (arguments=-r -f -p -i $(HOME)/bench11.inp)
