[Swift-devel] Problems with coasters and managedfork jobmanager

[Michael Wilde]

Sorry, I still dont get it. Did the globusrun command below work for 
you? It doesnt work for me, and doesnt match the syntax of what I 
understand globusrun to expect.

I was not able to get coaster-bootstrap.jar.pl into an RSL string for 
globusrun. I don't think thats possible, because globusrun gets confused 
by the single and double quotes in that file.

Unless Im missing something, as far as I can tell you can only test this 
from API level. Has it worked for you, from inside swift, say from 
ServiceManager?

I think thats a good idea, but I have not yet found a way to do this 
from a shell. I'm skeptical that there's a gram client command that will 
take the required perl command from the command line

Can you encode the script without embedded quotes?

The output I get is:

com$ globusrun -r tp-grid1.ci.uchicago.edu perl -e "`cat 
coaster-bootstrap.jar.pl`"

ERROR: too many request strings specified
