Hello all
Hello River
1st Thanks for the fast reply. After reading it and also some older
posts I was able to figure out a 'chmod 744' is needed on my python
script BUT ALSO THE ADDITION OF '#!/usr/bin/env python' AS FIRST LINE
in the script IS NEEDED.
2nd I switched to 'cronie' (thanks for the installation ;)
3rd My next problem is:
=================
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/sge62/default/spool/wolfsbane/job_scripts/118077", line 43, in
<module>
import wikipedia, config, query, pagegenerators
ImportError: No module named wikipedia
=================
when running:
'qsub $HOME/pywikipedia/runbotrun.py -cron'
which is the equivalent to:
'0 2 * * * cronsub -s mainbot $HOME/pywikipedia/runbotrun.py -cron'
in my cron(ie)tab file. But it seams that the change you mentioned
"Previously, SGE would copy the job script to a shared directory"
does not trigger for 'qsub'... I assume the both tools to have the
same behaviour, since I thought I can use 'qsub' to test my crontab
entries... But may be I'm wrong here.
Greetings! And thanks for your help!

Hi,
I've made a couple of changes to cronsub in response to some issues reported by
users. Specifically:
* cronsub now requires that the script file be executable, and will raise an
error if it's not. The previous behaviour was that non-executable scripts
would be executed by /bin/sh. If this affects you, the fix is to make the
script executable (chmod +x).
* Previously, SGE would copy the job script to a shared directory and execute
it there. For example, if you submitted $HOME/test.py, it would be copied
to a file such as /sge62/default/spool/wolfsbane/job_scripts/117333 before
starting. This was unfortunate for Python users who depended on Python's
behaviour of treating the script's directory as part of the "import"
search
path.
This behaviour has been changed, so that the script file will be executed in
its original location.
I appreciate that the first item may be a breaking change for some users.
However, on balance this seems like the lesser evil.
- river.
