Re: [Condor-users] Using shell script to invoke executable in standard universe

["Brian Dandurand" <bdandur@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your help.

I have another question because I don't think that I'm setting up the scp
line correctly. I know everything else works.

For
/usr/bin/scp myhost:myprogram

is 'myhost' the station where the job was submitted from? If I understand
this right, this line transfers the executable from the submitting machine
to the remote machine assigned to run the job.

When I run this through Condor, I get no error nor output message, but the
log file indicates return code of 1.

Also, when I run the shell script on my computer, when it gets to the scp
part, I get a prompt for my unix account password. I don't know if that
would happen on the remote machine as well when it is run through Condor.

On the Condor website they have

# grab a standard universe executable designed specifically
# for this host
scp elsewhere@xxxxxxxxxxx:${host} executable

for that line in the shell script. I do not understand the scp command
thoroughly, so maybe I'm mistaken, but that doesn't look syntactically
correct. Again, the name 'elsewhere@...' brings up the question of whether
this is the submitting machine or the remote machine.

there a way to call an executable compiled for the standard universe
from a shell script, or does it have to be called directly?
