[condor-users] Shadow Exception!

["Thomas Bauer" <tombauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello again,

I am still trying to get Condor working on my little testing-pool of 4
Intel-Windows2000(SP4)-machines. I found out, that there seems to be a
problem with writing the results back to the submitting machines, but I
don't know how to solve this problem. I have a program for testing, which
creates three files (fort.19,fort.20,fort.21) with the results. This program
works fine on any machine of the pool without using condor. When I submit
this program to the pool, everything works fine till the first result is
calculated. The log-file of the job says the following:
============================================================================
===============
000 (007.000.000) 10/10 18:57:48 Job submitted from host: <x.x.x.x:4178>

007 (007.000.000) 10/10 18:58:59 Shadow exception!
	Can no longer talk to condor_starter on execute machine (y.y.y.y)
	0  -  Run Bytes Sent By Job
	528441  -  Run Bytes Received By Job
...
============================================================================
===============
(The 528441 received bytes are exactly the size of the executable)

To look what had happened, I checked the starterlog on the executing
machine:

============================================================================
==============

In one of the last lines there seems to be the failure. The file fort.19 is
calculated and created, but can't be send back. I don't have the
source-code, because of that, I don't know, why the program exits at line
1371.
Than, I tested a job, which had a batch-file (@echo Hello!) as executable.
This job executed without any problems. I did't find any error-messages, but
the output (Hello!) was not written to the hello.out-file, which I
designated to be the output-file.

Does anybody know, what I am doing wrong? I don't believe that this has
something to do with user-rights, because I already made tests with very low
privilegs needed to write on those harddisks. Maybe one of you can tell me,
what is written in the 1370th line of that c-program?

Thanks in forward,
Thomas Bauer
