Re: [HTCondor-users] Running over parameter space

Try running condor_version  you appear to be using a version of condor prior to 8.4.  (in fact prior to 7.6 I would guess).

I thank you both for your kind assistance. However, this is still a problem. If I have an args.txt with a set of 'a1 a2 a3' and try implementing it via either of the methods suggested, it submits only 1 job. Moreover, right afterward, I check the status only to see that 0 jobs are running. The log file states that the 'Job [is] not properly linked for Condor.' Have you encountered this error before in relation to this?
