[bgl-discuss] Something going on today? Jobs aren't terminating.

[Chad Glendenin <chad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did I miss a notification about some activity or maintenance going on with
BG/L today? I can run jobs, and they produce the expected output to the
filesystem, but the jobs aren't terminating, and I'm not getting my
stdout.

chad@login1:~> qstat
JobID  User  WallTime  Nodes    State
=========================================
  327   smc  00:00:10     32  running
  328  chad  00:00:10      1  running
  329  chad  00:00:01      1  running

That one-minute job (329) started about 15 minutes ago, and the command
was the following:

qsub -t 1 -n 1 -c 1 /home/chad/vol-0.6/vol --usage

All that command should do is print some help text to stdout and exit.

"qdel 329" tells me my job is deleted, but it's still in the queue and
there's no 329.output/error in $HOME.

"qdel -f 329" manages to delete the job from the queue, but it also throws
away my stdout.

Do I need to do something to fix this?

Thanks,
ccg
