[torqueusers] Batch not running : Things to check

[Sreedhar Manchu]

Hi Dave,

This line says which directories from the host should be staged on to the compute node's destination directory. This is what I found from torque documentation. I included the link to the page below. Hopefully, this helps.


$usecp Format: <HOST>:<SRCDIR> <DSTDIR> Description: Specifies which directories should be staged (see TORQUE Data Management) Example: $usecp *.fte.com:/data /usr/local/data

http://www.clusterresources.com/torquedocs21/a.cmomconfig.shtml

Best,
Sreedhar.
