In which folder? I suspect you are getting that run in the wrong folder. Moreover, that $HOME there seems useless. So, let's assume it's in at /home/name/local_clean/clean_sandbox.py First step, check manually that it works: cd /home/name/local_clean/ python clean_sandbox.py -lang:ar -family:wikipedia Does it run? Do you have any problems for eg. not finding the rest of pywikipediabot? Then, when creating the script, make it run in that folder: #!/bin/sh #$ -j y #$ -o /dev/null #$ -l h_rt=00:10:00 #$ -l virtual_free=20M #$ -wd /home/name/local_clean/clean_sandbox.py python clean_sandbox.py -lang:ar -family:wikipedia I'd also recommend you to not run it with -o /dev/null the first time, so you can see the output files if something were wrong. (I also added there a time limit of 10 minutes to clean the sandbox, and an arbitrary memory size of 20M, in line with Merlissimo guidelines) ___ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette

It's needed if you use relative path names as your script does. Joining the error stream into the standard output stream and writing both to /dev/null isn't a good idea if you are searching for an error cause.

I had intended to remove clean_sandbox.py from that line.
