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
<http://www.clusterresources.com/torquedocs21/6.2filesystems.shtml#torqu
edm> ) Example: $usecp *.fte.com:/data /usr/local/data

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

Best,
Sreedhar.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Just a question....
The second line:
$usecp crunch.its.nyu.edu:/home /home

Is this because the script that I'm running is located in /home or is
the location "/home" used for something else?

Thanks!

Dave

Hi Dave,

This is what I have in my config file.

$pbsserver crunch.local
$usecp crunch.its.nyu.edu:/home /home
$spool_as_final_name true

I think you need to mention the second line.

Best,
Sreedhar.

James,

I tried entering:
qsub -V -I  -l nodes=1 -q dn
and it just hangs there

Do I have a problem with "mom"?
Here's some files in mom_priv:

usphl1ora002@/var/spool/torque/mom_priv>ls -l jobs
total 0

usphl1ora002@/var/spool/torque/mom_priv>more config
$pbsserver      usphl1ora002.amer.sykes.com
<http://usphl1ora002.amer.sykes.com/>       # note: hostname running
pbs_server
$logevent       255     # bitmap of which events to log

usphl1ora002@/var/spool/torque/mom_priv>more mom.lock
25994

usphl1ora002@/var/spool/torque/mom_priv>ps -ef | grep 25994 | grep -v
grep
root     25994     1  0 Sep12 ?        00:01:03 /usr/local/sbin/pbs_mom
-p

Not really familiar with "mom"

I also don't have a lot of documentation on Torque...
Do you know of any good web pages?
Thanks!
Dave

Dave,

  Welcome to Torque. I switched from NQS some time ago, and Torque/PBS
has been a good replacement for me.
Things to check:
  What does the error output say? ( Probably in file dn_test.txt.e[0-9]*
)
  Permissions on  /home/zarnocda/torque/scripts_test/dn_test.sh , is it
executable?  
You may need:    chmod u+x /home/zarnocda/torque/scripts_test/dn_test.sh

  I'd also check if /home/zarnocda/torque/scripts_test/dn_test.sh 
even exists on the compute node.
e.g.  ls /home/zarnocda/torque/scripts_test/dn_test.sh  executable

  I usually use the interactive opion ( qsub -I ) to debug these kinds
of problems.
You could issue:
qsub -V -I  -l nodes=1 -q dn
which will start an interactive jobs and log you into the mother
superior node for that job
where you can then try issuing the commands within your job that is not
working.

Hello folks,
New to Torque, used to run NQS....
Concerning Torque...
I have a small script:
$ more dn_test.sh
#!/bin/sh
#
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:$HOME/bin:/usr
/bin/X11
:/sbin:.
export PATH
DATE=`date +%H%M`
echo "Hello"
touch /tmp/dn_test_${DATE}
sleep 90

When I submit the script:

qsub -V -l nodes=1 -q dn dn_test.sh

It runs fine.

But I need to run batch...

I created a text file "dn_test.txt"

That contains:

/home/zarnocda/torque/scripts_test/dn_test.sh

When I run:

qsub -V -l nodes=1 -q dn dn_test.txt

It appears to process the file:
qstat -s
Job id                    Name             User            Time Use S
Queue
------------------------- ---------------- --------------- -------- -
-----
7592.usphl1ora002.amer    dn_test.txt      zarnocda               0 R dn

But it doesn't excute the script within:
/home/zarnocda/torque/scripts_test/dn_test.sh

Any help!

Thanks!

Dave
