Re: [HTCondor-users] Don't understand HoldReason msg

["O'Donnell, Michael" <odonnellm@xxxxxxxx>]

Yes, the shadow log only shows up on the submit machine. I would need to look through Condor's manual with regard to switching of permissions when jobs are submitted and run to refresh my memory. Is it possible that the condor pool password is not stored on the execute machine. Because your job does run when your comment out the log file the problem might be related to permissions of the pool user, condor_pool@xxxxxxxxxxxx.

Run this command:

condor_status -f "%s\t" Name -f "%s\n" ifThenElse(isUndefined(LocalCredd),\"UNDEF\",LocalCredd)

If you see undefined for any of your machines, or better the machine causing the problem, then you need to add the credentials for the condor_pool user.

I tend to write all my logs to a shared file server and therefore I use UNC paths. This might be an easy test for you. Without looking at UW Condor documentation of how daemons change permissions during the jobs execution, I can only speculate.

Do you have a D:\ drive on the local machine or are you trying to write the log to your submit machine? 

I can take a closer look on Monday if these suggestions do not help.

@Michael O'Donnell: No mapped drives, but I don't think that's the issue. I made a much simpler test case and it still didn't work. I commented out the line in the submit file trying to create the log file and things work, curiously, the similar lines create the output and error files don't cause troubles.

@Nathan Panike: The ShadowLog is only on the submitting machine, right? I couldn't find the line you described but notice credential problems:

01/11/13 15:29:11 (35.5) (4612): init_user_ids() failed as user rfinch

I had run condor_credd and thought everything was good, but will revisit that issue.

Hi Ralph:

You want to look in the ShadowLog for this information.  There should be
a line in the ShadowLog that says

"WriteUserLog::initialize: failed to open file <...>"

Can you find that? BTW, was this part of a DAGMan workflow?
