(Guys, I feel like an idiot for posting multiple messages per day to this list. I'm really trying to work these things out on my own before I post.....)

The TOV example works great on queenbee. :-)

After reading the Advanced Tutorial, I tried to run my own job, which I called "uni449_1". It's a Cactus run which works interactively... The command I used was

simfactory/sim create-submit uni449_1 --parfile=/home/shawley/runs/texmex/uni449.par --procs=8 --walltime=8:0:0 --num-threads=8 --ppn-used=1 --queue=workq

Several errors appeared, and it seems *Cactus itself* never even got started...but somehow the job used up 8 hours of wall clock time. ?

Does anyone have any suggestions? Errors and output log below.

Thanks, Scott

In /scratch/shawley/simulations/uni449_1/output-0000/ , the uni449_1.err file contained mention of several syntax errors: ... + for node in '$(cat ${MPD_NODEFILE})' + (( proc=0 )) + (( 0<0.125 )) /var/spool/torque/mom_priv/jobs/565273.qb2.SC: line 66: ((: 0<0.125: syntax error in expression (error token is ".125") + for node in '$(cat ${MPD_NODEFILE})' + (( proc=0 )) + (( 0<0.125 )) /var/spool/torque/mom_priv/jobs/565273.qb2.SC: line 66: ((: 0<0.125: syntax error in expression (error token is ".125") + for node in '$(cat ${MPD_NODEFILE})' + (( proc=0 )) + (( 0<0.125 )) /var/spool/torque/mom_priv/jobs/565273.qb2.SC: line 66: ((: 0<0.125: syntax error in expression (error token is ".125") + for node in '$(cat ${MPD_NODEFILE})' + (( proc=0 )) + (( 0<0.125 )) /var/spool/torque/mom_priv/jobs/565273.qb2.SC: line 66: ((: 0<0.125: syntax error in expression (error token is ".125") + for node in '$(cat ${MPD_NODEFILE})' + (( proc=0 )) + (( 0<0.125 )) /var/spool/torque/mom_priv/jobs/565273.qb2.SC: line 66: ((: 0<0.125: syntax error in expression (error token is ".125") + for node in '$(cat ${MPD_NODEFILE})' + (( proc=0 )) + (( 0<0.125 )) /var/spool/torque/mom_priv/jobs/565273.qb2.SC: line 66: ((: 0<0.125: syntax error in expression (error token is ".125") + for node in '$(cat ${MPD_NODEFILE})' + (( proc=0 )) + (( 0<0.125 )) /var/spool/torque/mom_priv/jobs/565273.qb2.SC: line 66: ((: 0<0.125: syntax error in expression (error token is ".125") + for node in '$(cat ${MPD_NODEFILE})' + (( proc=0 )) + (( 0<0.125 )) /var/spool/torque/mom_priv/jobs/565273.qb2.SC: line 66: ((: 0<0.125: syntax error in expression (error token is ".125") ++ date +%s + export CACTUS_STARTTIME=1312948714 + CACTUS_STARTTIME=1312948714 + /usr/local/packages/mvapich2/1.4/intel-11.1/bin/mpirun_rsh -np 1 -hostfile mpi_nodefile /bin/env MV2_ENABLE_AFFINITY=0 OMP_NUM_THREADS=8 ./SIMFACTORY/cactus_sim -L 3 uni449.par =>> PBS: job killed: walltime 28836 exceeded limit 28800

The output file didn't have any mention of Cactus:
