I'm not running pbs_iff from the command line ... i just pbs_from from the command line only for proof . 


Mi problem is when run a job with a qsub command

Abraham,

I do not think pbs_iff is the problem. Reading the log files the job successfully submitted and ran. This is a post job processing error. It looks like maybe the output directory or something of that nature is not available to your application.

pbs_iff is only used at the beginning of a client operation such as qsub.
