Re: [Condor-users] a vanilla job

Yes, both A and B solutions are good... but
the strange thing is that condor_q  writes the correct command and 
arguments list:

ID      OWNER            SUBMITTED     RUN_TIME ST PRI SIZE CMD

107.0   dgadmin         6/28 17:00   0+00:00:00 I  0   0.5  sh -c date +%s

for the submission-file

executable=/bin/sh
arguments=-c date +%s


But as result it displays only the output for
executable=/bin/sh
arguments=-c date
