[HTCondor-users] condor_submit with -append arguments

[Adriana Bungau <A.Bungau@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I want to submit a job using variable arguments by typing the arguments values in the submission command. So there are 2 files:

First file is a simple job file like this:

$ cat > an.job
cmd = /bin/sleep
args = 3 7
queue


Second file I want to execute using some input parameters:

$ cat > submit_job.sh
if [ $# -lt 1 ]
    then
    echo "Usage: ./submit_job.sh <radius> <length>"
    echo "E.g, ./submit_job.sh 60 80"
    exit
fi
radius=$1
length=$2
condor_submit -append 'args = $(radius) $(length)'  an.job
------------------------


$ chmod +x submit_job.sh

But executing this bash file as (for example) ./submit_job.sh 25 32 will not pass '25' to args[1] or '32' to args[2] .  I would be very grateful if someone could please suggest a way (if such a way exists) to pass some variables to be used as arguments in the submission scripts, so having maybe a job file like:

$ cat > an.job
cmd = /bin/sleep
args = $1 $2
queue


Thank you very much,

Best regards,

Adriana
