• My jobs are writing their stdout and stderr to _condor_stdout and _condor_stderr respectively, and not the locations specified in the submit description file. This has started since the upgrade to v6.7.14, I think. Has anyone else seen this? -- Main.s0565860 - 20 Jan 2006
  • Yes, I had this problem. The solution, I think, is to use ShouldTransferFiles=ALWAYS in your submit file. -- Main.simonk - 05 Apr 2006
  • That seems to work, despite the documentation saying ShouldTransferFiles can take one of only three values YES, IF_NEEDED or NO! -- Main.s0565860 - 09 Apr 2006

  • By default it is set to "posix_complient", I've reset it to "unix_behaviour". You can get the queue configuration by doing qconf -sq <queue> and get a list of queues by doing qconf -sql -- IainRae - 19 Jan 2006
