Hi,

I believe the first argument of cronsub should specify a name for the cronjob. When the job is running this name will show up in "qstat" and it can be used to kill the job jusing "qdel".

It should be something like: 0 3 * * * cronsub newpagefetch $HOME/newpagefetch.sh

Here's the error:

Your "cron" job on willow cronsub $HOME/newpagefetch.sh

produced the following output:

qsub: ERROR! argument to -N option must not contain /

Here's the cron entry:

$ crontab -l 0 3 * * * cronsub $HOME/newpagefetch.sh

Here's the shell script:

$ cat newpagefetch.sh #!/bin/sh #$ -sl newpagefetch #$ -m bae #$ -j y #$ -o $HOME/newpagefetch.log java -jar $HOME/NewPageFetcherApplication.jar

What am I doing wrong?
