Hello,
I am setting up a new SGE cluster (with old SGE) with local users' home
directories on the nodes. Those directories might not exists at the time of
job execution, so I need to have SGE create them before jobs are executed.
I added the following lines to my prolog script:
HOMEDIR=$(eval echo ~${USER});
if [[ ! -d ${HOMEDIR} ]]; then
sudo /sbin/mkhomedir_helper ${USER}
fi
I tried to run prolog both as a 'sgegrid' user that has sudo privileges to
execute the command, and as root. However, neither of the attempts worked:
the job still failed:
07/30/2019 20:36:28 [973525570:34481]: error: can't chdir to /home/ilya: No
such file or directory
I also tried to run this as a global prolog and as a queue-level prolog to
no avail.
Running the prolog script manually on the node creates home directory
without a problem, so the syntax and logic seem to be correct.
Furthermore, I have the following set at the top on prolog script to allow
some logging:
set -x
LOG=/tmp/prolog_${1}.log
exec 6>&1
exec > $LOG 2>$LOG
However, the log file is not getting created, which makes me think that the
failure happens before prolog starts to execute.
Shell settings for the queue are as follows:
shell /bin/sh
shell_start_mode posix_compliant
starter_method is not set.
Would appreciate any suggestions for making this work or at least getting
meaningful debug output.
Thank you.
Ilya.
