Error with job_name & SSGE 8.1.9

Looks like you may have to specify the name of the job directly. Seems like you’ve seen the man pages and that’s why you’ve added that -N bit in native. I’d suggest the below where you attempt to add the name directly in the submit. Otherwise you’re wrapper may have to suffice until we patch it. We run qsub too at OSC but it’s version 6.1.2. You must have something higher?

batch_connect:
  template: vnc
    extra_args: "-listen tcp -vgl -geometry 1240x1024"
  script:
    # try to give it a static name
    job_name: 'some-static-name-like-interactive'

Here’s the version we run.

[johrstrom@owens-login01 ~]$ qsub --version
Version: 6.1.2

To the problem you’re having with VNC, I can’t really tell why it’s being killed. Here’s a good log below which is very similar. It would appear that you’re unable to start a vnc server instance - or for some reason you start it it kills itself.

There’s also a vnc.log file in your directory there. It may say something more informative about the problem. If you have ssh access to the instance you’re trying to boot on, I’d suggest shelling into it and attempting to run that job_script_content.sh script.

Here in line 107 you can add the -log "vnc.log:debug". Also notice that that line is in a loop where you’re trying to start VNC so you can add extra debug echo statements there if you need.

VNC_OUT=$(vncserver -log "vnc.log:debug" -rfbauth "vnc.passwd" -nohttpd -noxstartup -geometry 1536x780 -idletimeout 0  2>&1)
