Re: [condor-users] jobs don't start



Condor copies all the files produced by your job back to the directory from where the job was submitted *on the machine from where the job was submitted*. This means you should have write access to the directory from where you submit the job.

I wonder why the ShadowLog you sent earlier references some checkpoint file which it allegedly fails to transfer: C:\Condor\spool\cluster7.ickpt.subproc0. You aren't using any checkpointing -- Vanilla universe does not support it...


That's right, I'm not using the checkpoint-feature

I hope trapezregel.exe was compiled *without* Condor checkpointing?


Yes trapezregel.exe is a fortran-compiled executable. It runs for a few seconds and writes as output three files: fort.19, fort.20 and fort.21

If trapezregel.exe is just a normal executable, which runs perfectly on any of those machines if you install it there manually, then may be you should try explicitly telling Condor which files to transfer and when. Try adding following to the submission file:

transfer_input_files = trapezregel.exe
should_transfer_files = YES
when_to_transfer_output = ON_EXIT_OR_EVICT


I added these lines to the submission file and the job ran for a few seconds, but it did not finish.
But I found in the Shadowlog, that the error-message has changed. The error-message is now, that the output-file (fort.19) could not be written to the directory c:\condor\batch. I'm not sure, if condor tries to write this output-file directly to the computer, from which I started this job, or to the computer, on which the job is running in the moment.


I think I'll have to talk to my administrator. Somewhere must be a lock, which denies condor to write the output files to the harddisk.
