           Summary: submitting to TG NCSA Mercury PBS with PATH env profile
                    set causes job to hang
           Product: Swift
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: nobody at mcs.anl.gov
        ReportedBy: benc at hawaga.org.uk
                CC: skenny at uchicago.edu


Submititng to TG NCSA Mercury PBS with PATH env profile set causes the job to
hang on the worker node.

Submitting without that PATH set does not cause the hang. Submitting to
jobmanager-fork on that machine (instead of PBS) does not cause the hang.
Submitting with PATH env profile to teraport PBS does not cause hang.

This happens with every swift script i have tried.

skenny has also seen similar behaviour (and is the instigator of this
investigation)

Here is a sites.xml entry that causes hangs for me:

  <pool handle="tgncsa-hg" >
    <gridftp  url="gsiftp://gt2-gridftp-hg.ncsa.teragrid.org" />.
    <jobmanager universe="vanilla"
url="grid-hg.ncsa.teragrid.org/jobmanager-pbs" major="2" />
    <workdirectory >/home/ac/benc</workdirectory>
    <profile namespace="globus" key="project">TG-CCR080002N</profile>
    <profile namespace="env" key="PATH">/:$PATH</profile>
  </pool>

Removing that PATH profile entry makes things work again.
