Re: [HTCondor-users] condor_submit hangs if the path contains an equal sign

[John M Knoeller <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is not a bug.  Condor submit treats an argument with an =  as a submit command, not as a path to a submit file,   so condor_submit isn't hanging.  It's trying to read stdin for the rest of the submit commands and waiting for stdin to finish.

You can use the -file argument to insure that the following argument is used as a submit file and not as a submit command.

condor_submit -file /tmp/waschk/sinec=0.90/job.submit

-tj

Hi Everyone,

a DESY user found this bug. A command like this will just hang and not 
finish:

% condor_submit /tmp/waschk/sinec=0.90/job.submit
Submitting job(s)

This was tested with condor 10.4.1 and 9.0.17.

After the user removed the '=' from the path, she could submit jobs again.

Regards,
GÃtz Waschk
