[Swift-user] Need help debugging strange problem...

[Ben Clifford]

there is a somewhat common misconfiguration of gram4 on the server side 
where it is wired into the local queueing system incorrectly so that 
completion notifications do not find their way back. this matches the 
symptoms you describe - that fork works but that pbs doesn't, but that the 
job apepars to have run.

I just tried a submission using the GT4 command line job submission 
command:

$ globusrun-ws -submit -F 
https://grid-hg.ncsa.teragrid.org:8443/wsrf/services/ManagedJobFactoryService 
-Ft Fork -job-command /bin/hostname
Submitting job...



but it appears to hang without submitting. not sure what is happening with 
that site...

Aside from that, my advice for diagnosis would be to try the above command 
with both Fork and PBS and see if you get the same difference in behaviour 
between the two.
