Hi,

Thanks a lot William and Reuti for the answers. Apparently I scheduled a
.bat (windows bat file) job to check if it could run it and due to that the
all.q got dropped for the queue list.

qstat -explain E gives the following output:

   - "queue all.q marked QERROR as result of job 2's failure at host
   Mukesh-PC"

Windows have provided a way to launch native windows programs using the WSL
shell. How can I launch native windows applications using sgeexec?

My take on this is to append the windows exe path to the OGS environment
PATH variable. I think that might fix it. It did fix it when I added the
path to the job script and I could launch native windows through the grid
engine exec host.

My use case is that I just want to run a windows exec host and thus I am
trying to run it using WSL. I'll try to work my way through it. Can you
suggest any other way that this could be done on windows. I have been
running it on linux for a while and it works fine for all my nodes but now
I have to add windows nodes to the cluster.

Best Regards,
Mukesh
