Submitting jobs with external executable does not work
If you have a script, say script.py
, which is not executable by itself (it has no executable flag), and you are calling from directory /dir/of/script
:
$ jman -l submit python script.py
The submitted job will be
$ jman ls -l
[...] '/dir/of/script/python' 'script.py'
instead of
[...] 'python' '/dir/of/script/script.py'
When you specify the full path of the executable, this will work:
$ jman -l submit /usr/bin/python script.py
$ jman ls -l
[...] '/usr/bin/python' 'script.py'
but the path to the script is lost.
Hence, currently there is no way of running a non-executable script. I remember that jman
had an option for the executable once before, but for some reason I cannot find this anymore. Maybe, this option should be revived.
