[Swift-devel] Coaster error

[Jonathan Monette]

Hello,
     I am getting this error when running coasters on PADS.

Canceling job 449188.svc.pads.ci.uchicago.edu

I am assuming is that coasters could not qdel a job.  As soon as this 
error appeared all my jobs in the queue disappeared and no more jobs are 
submitted.  My script hangs because it is waiting for some apps to run 
but the jobs are never submitted to the PADS scheduler.  My run and all 
the log files are located at 
/home/jonmon/Workspace/Montage/m101_j_6x6/runs/m101_montage_Aug-16-2010_13-24-43 
on the CI machines.
