[torqueusers] Torque 2.5.9 and not finding pbs_iff

[Donald Neal]

Ken,

Yes, pbs_iff is definitely present. Please note that I originally wrote:

> Now, "which pbs_iff" dutifully reports that the file to be used is /usr/bin/pbs_iff, and yes, privileges on that file are 4755. More interesting, if the user's PATH is set so that /usr/bin is the first element, the problem goes away. The problem comes back if another element is placed in the PATH before /usr/bin, apparently regardless of what that element is.
