Hi Everyone,
I wish to have crontab check every minute for the existence of a file,
then if such file exists, execute "sbatch calculate.sh".
crontab is written as:
* * * * * SlurmUser cd /var/www/virtual/mesa-web.asu.edu/html/services &&
/bin/sh ./test.sh
the file test.sh contains:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -f inlist_user_input ]
then
sbatch calculate.sh > 'rn.txt'
else
exit
fi
lastly, calculate.sh is a typical job batch script
When i $ ./test.sh by hand
I get the typical out put "Submitted job id ##" to the rn.txt file
However, when I have crontab do the same thing,
rn.txt is created, but empty.
Can crontab processes execute sbatch commands? Am I missing a particular
permission setting?
all files involved are executable by "SlurmUser"
Thanks ahead of time,
Carl
