exit status 139 on qsub? #26

Open liviaking opened 12 years ago

liviaking commented 12 years ago

I'm having some trouble submitting a matlab job to the queue. The command I use is:

/software/common/bin/ezsub -c "matlab -nodesktop -nosplash < /groups/vwfa/att_pilot/batch/PPI/runPPIFTWComplex.m" -n ftwrun

If I simply run matlab from command line: matlab -nodesktop -nosplash < /groups/vwfa/att_pilot/batch/PPI/runPPIFTWComplex.m

it runs fine, but whenever I submit it to the queue, it fails right away with exit status=139.

i just ran:

ezsub -c "matlab -nodesktop -nosplash \< ~/test.m" -n foo

and it seems to work fine.

Other scripts have worked for me in the past too, so I think it's at least somewhat script specific. The thing that confuses me though, is that when I run it just straight from the terminal, it doesn't crash.

the job submission shouldn't crash. can you copy and paste the output from the job submission command.

Could it have something to do with the fact that the script generates figures on the screen? I think Jenny had some issues with that, but following her solution (setting DISPLAY to ba3.mit.edu:2.0) did not help in this case.
