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.
