[HTCondor-users] shell pipe/cmd-chain as job command/argument in python bindings

[Thomas Hartmann <thomas.hartmann@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I just tried to submit a quick job with the Python bindings, where I 
attempted to run just a few shell commands. I juggled a bit with the 
position of the execs in the `Cmd` and `Args` keys - but all failed [1]

So, I tried to wrap the &&-chained commands into one string-argument and 
use the shell as executable [2] (not the most elegant approach...). 
However, it also failed for me :-/
(I guss the behaviour is similar for submissions through the CLI)

Is there a way to get it running - or is a short script the only way to 
go...?

Cheers,
  Thomas



[1]
    jobAd["Cmd"] = '/usr/bin/env'
    jobAd["Args"] = '&& /usr/bin/cat .job.ad && echo "FOO" '
    schedd.submit(job_ad)

which actually cat'ed me `echo` - I guess the shell interpretation of 
operators like `&&` is not possible here, or?



[2]
    jobAd["Cmd"] = '/usr/bin/bash'
    jobAd["Args"] = '-c "/usr/bin/cat .job.ad && /usr/bin/echo \FOO\"" '
