[torqueusers] submitting a job, then modify script and resubmit

[Mahmood Naderan]

Thanks for your answer. I got that.

Another question is about modification of other config files. Does qsub copy all files or it does only copy the script?

In this case, I have a scr.sh which is:
#PBS ...
./run config.ini


the config.ini file looks like:
exe = bin1
args = 8

The first qsub is:
qsub scr.sh

After submitting that, I modify the config.ini to 

exe = bin1
args = 64

Then I resubmit scr.sh again

qsub scr.sh

Please note that the scr.sh doesn't change in this case. However the config.ini is modified.
 

Does your answer apply to this case? 

Regards

qsub makes a copy of the submit script and the batch system will
execute that. that is the only way how it can consistently feeding
submission from standard input.
