Justin,

I would recommend writing a wrapper script and using that as your executable. It might look something like:

### my_wrapper.sh ###

#!/bin/bash

filename=$1 # get the filename from the first argument passed

# source the bash scripts

source script1.sh

source script2.sh

source script3.sh

###

Then make sure all the rest of the files you need for the job (the scripts, the image, etc.) are listed in transfer_input_files. I'm guessing that will look something like:

transfer_input_files = script1.sh, script2.sh, script3.sh, $(filename)

Does this help you?

I have a bunch of bash shell scripts that convert one graphics format to another. Is there a way to run them in Condor 8.6? In a shell I'd do:

source /path/to/script/script.sh

I created a file with all the scripts in a list and my submit file look like this

transfer_input_files = $(filename)

Arguments = $(filename)

Queue filename from /path/to/file/fconvert.in

I'm not sure how to handle the sourcing, though. Source isn't a program, rather it's part of Bash, so I guessed the input file should look like

source /path/to/script/script1.sh

source /path/to/script/script2.sh

source /path/to/script/script3.sh

and the executable should be set to Â/bin/bash

The guess was incorrect!

All the machines have Bash anyway, so maybe this can be run without transferring anything?

Any ideas?
