Re: [HTCondor-users] Running over parameter space

[ap817 <ap817@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thank you both for your kind assistance. However, this is still a 
problem. If I have an args.txt with a set of 'a1 a2 a3' and try 
implementing it via either of the methods suggested, it submits only 1 
job. Moreover, right afterward, I check the status only to see that 0 
jobs are running. The log file states that the 'Job [is] not properly 
linked for Condor.' Have you encountered this error before in relation 
to this?
