[HTCondor-users] shim_dmtcp problems with command arguments.

[Russell Poyner <rpoyner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have a small condor in Electrical Engineering here at UW Madison. The 
users want to be able to use checkpointing, and I had high hopes for 
dmtcp, but command arguments aren't working.

For testing I have a submit file that just runs uname under dmtcp. When 
the command is /sbin/uname the job returns .err and .out files with the 
expected content.

When the command is /sbin/uname -a no such files are created. The uname 
-a version of the submit file is below.

We have condor 7.4.4, and shim_dmtcp version 0.4

Thanks
