Re: [Condor-users] Getting output of an application

["Kewley, J \(John\)" <j.kewley@xxxxxxxx>]

Sending us the submit scripts would help.

 

A common problem is that people forget to transfer the actual program

across.

 

Do you have

universe = vanilla

executable = your_shellscript

 

Do you have anything set for transfer_input_files or arguments?

 

If you shellscript takes your program as an argument, then it will need to

appear on the arguments line as well as the transfer_input_files.

 

If your shellscript refers to any files or calls programs which refer to

other files, then ALL those referred to files and programs need to be on the

executing machine. This may be OK if you have a shared file system and you are

using fill paths to get there, but if not - they will need to get there somehow.

Adding them to transfer_input_files would be the way to do this.

 

Note if you have large numbers of files that are always accessed, you can

"tar" them up and send them as a single file, and then your shellscript can unpack

them before running your program

 

I hope this helps

Subject: [Condor-users] Getting output of an application

Hello all. I have been trying to run a simple C application that prints 1-100. This application is being run from a shell script that also prints some messages like
"job started". The output file that I am getting after execution of my application contains only the message "job started" and not the 1-100 numbers.
Could anyone please tell me how should I do to get the output that has been generated by my C application?
