[HTCondor-users] Individual executables

[Yngve Inntjore Levinsen <yngve.levinsen@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was trying to write a minimalistic job configuration script for a 
simulation program we have, that essentially set up all files for its 
own queue manager for larger studies. It groups each job in separate 
folders, where all needed input files are stored. That includes the 
executable.

This is my executable line:
  executable     = calc/Local_$(process)/MyProject

However, it seems that for the executable string, $(process) is always 
replaced by 0 (when I checked condor_history afterwards at least). Now I 
know how to get around this (e.g. using a simple shell script), but I 
was wondering if this is expected behaviour? Why shouldn't it be 
possible to specify separate executables for each job?

In order to clarify I attach the complete example script.

Cheers,
Yngve
