I have a python script (startup.py) that executes a tcsh-script (test.sh) via python subprocess.call(test.sh, shell=True). Everything works fine as long as I directly execute the python-script in my home directory on the cluster. It does not work, when I execute the same script using sbatch. Path for the python-script is: /home/myname/anaconda/pro/myPy/startup.py shown below: mycomp='/home/myname/' import compileall compileall.compile_dir(mycomp+'anaconda/pro/myPy/', force=1) import subprocess as subs subs.call(mycomp+'anaconda/pro/myRun/test.sh', shell=True) Path for the tcsh-script (#!/bin/tcsh) is: /home/myname/anaconda/pro/myRun/test.sh Note: I use tcsh in this case! my slurm script /home/myname/config.sh, version is slurm 0.4.3: #!/bin/sh #SBATCH -A 16cores #SBATCH --ntasks=1 #SBATCH --cpus-per-task=16 #SBATCH --job-name=300 #SBATCH --error=300.err #SBATCH --output=300.out #SBATCH --partition=all #SBATCH --time=60-00:00:00 export OMP_NUM_THREADS=16 ### Switch to the working directory; cd ~/anaconda/pro/myPy/ ### Run: python startup.py I execute it as: myname@mycluster:~$ sbatch config.sh Error message in 300.err /bin/sh: 1: /home/myname/anaconda/pro/myRun/test.sh: not found The file status is: -rwxr-xr-x 1 myname myname 80891 abr 4 18:32 test.sh What do I miss here?
