Hello Taiki,</div>

<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
You are modifying a generic machine file and using it with pbs-normal submission file. Submission and running the simulation are done by different files and currently you use generic config and runscript (generic.cfg, generic.run). I would suggest you to use
consistent simfactory files, lets say modify the files for crux (crux.ini, .cfg, .sub, .run) to work with your cluster. After having consistent files add "--machine hubble" option when you submit the job (./simfactory/bin/sim submit ... --machine hubble).
Also have a look at the all supported clusters that use PBS on simfactory/mdb/submitscripts.</div>

Initially, the automatically generated hubble.ini was configured for a local login node submission. I attempted to modify the submission commands to support our PBS environment, but the jobs are not running properly.<br>
<br>
Here are the modifications I made to the .ini configuration:<br>
<br>
* submit: Changed from: exec nohup @SCRIPTFILE@ < /dev/null > @RUNDIR@/@SIMULATION_NAME@.out 2> @RUNDIR@/@SIMULATION_NAME@.err & echo $! To: qsub @SCRIPTFILE@<br>
<br>
* stop: Changed from: pkill -g $(ps -o pgid= -p @JOB_ID@) To: qdel @JOB_ID@<br>
<br>
* getstatus: Changed from: ps @JOB_ID@ To: qstat -f @JOB_ID@<br>
<br>
Symptoms:<br>
<br>
1. When running simfactory/bin/sim submit, no .out or .err files are generated at all.<br>
<br>
2. When running simfactory/bin/sim create-submit, the .out and .err files are generated, but the .out file only contains the PBS job ID, and the .err file is completely empty.<br>
<br>
3. No simulation output files or directories are created inside the designated simulation directory.<br>
<br>
As you can see from the symptoms, create-submit successfully captures the job ID, but the simulation does not run and no output is generated.<br>
<br>
Could anyone guide me on the correct way to write the submit option or the template script for PBS in SimFactory? Any working examples of a PBS configuration (.ini and .sub files) would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
For your reference, I have attached my .ini file and .sub file that I am currently using.<br>
