You probably need ./files.sh  rather than just files.sh

I've tried all these suggestions but it seems to not even get to that stage.

It seems to be an error parsing the queue statement:

condor_submit -dry-run - test.sub
Dry-Run job(s)
ERROR: on Line 23 of submit file: not a valid command

ERROR: Failed to parse command file (line 23).

Same parse error without the dry-run option.

when using the statement:

queue fname from files.sh |

Works OK for windows but linux has this parsing problem.

Cheers

Greg

Some advice:

Use /bin/sh rather than /bin/bash. /bin/sh will always exist on every UNIX and UNIX-like system you come across. GNU BASH isn't universal and it isn't always found as /bin/bash.

Always be explicit about paths to binaries whenever possible. A common problem is that several shells' built-in echo don't work the same way as /bin/echo with regards to certain switches such as -n. Use explicit paths like /bin/ls to avoid inconsistent behavior problems down the line.

A less well known option is to add "-x" to your shebang:

 /bin/sh -x

This enables trace mode so you can see what the script is doing and where it fails, and hopefully identify why.
