Hello, I would be extremely grateful if anyone is able to provide any (rather obscure) advice on using R with Condor. I think I'm following Xianhong Xie's instructions (R News 5(2) 13-15) correctly, but my job just stays held in the queue (for days / months). I've checked condor_status to make sure there are plenty of machines available, but can't see any way to attack the problem of the non-running jobs.
I did wonder whether I should compile some small stand-alone executable to make sure that runs OK, but even then I'm not sure where I would go next. I have exhausted local advice on the matter. For what it's worth, the condor script (and the even simpler R script) I'm working with at the moment are here: Condor script file (submitted using condor_submit): ## condor script starts here: Universe = vanilla Executable = C:\Program Files\R\R-2.5.1\bin\Rterm.exe Getenv = true Arguments = vanilla Input = test0.R Error = test0.err Log = test0.log Output = test.out Queue ## R script file (test0.R) pdf("test1.pdf", width = 6, height = 6) plot(c(1:10), c(1:10)) dev.off() I really would be grateful for any suggestions, hints, comments, sample working scripts etc. Best Paul -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Paul Hewson Lecturer in Statistics School of Mathematics and Statistics University of Plymouth Drake Circus Plymouth PL4 8AA tel (01752) 232778 (Campus) tel (01752) 764437 (Tamar Science Park) fax (01752) 232780 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/staff/phewson -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
