Re: file parameters and job caps



So, the problem seems to be the fact that I use a file as a parameter, for whatever
reason this bottlenecks the number of tasks to about 240. Perhaps Xgrid has trouble
calculating the size of the job when there is a file involved? Has anyone else had this
problem? Or, better yet, found a way around it?

I believe it has to do with the amount of memory that the jobs take up. If you make your script smaller, you can probably store more jobs. It has been awhile since I tried doing what you are, but I think that is exactly what I experienced.


P.S: Is there a way to call a perl script without using the perl command. For example, is
there an extension I can give my perl scripts that will let them be run just by entering
the script name in the command prompt, is there an environment variable to do this, or
perhaps another solution?

Sure. Make sure your file is user executable. Make sure you have:

#!/usr/bin/perl

at the top of the file.
