I have a problem I'd like you to help me to solve.
I am working in Python and I want to do the following:
- call an SGE batch script on a server
- see if it works correctly
- do something
What I do now is approx the following:
import subprocess
try:
tmp = subprocess.call(qsub ....)
if tmp != 0:
error_handler_1()
else:
correct_routine()
except:
error_handler_2()
My problem is that once the script is sent to SGE, my python script interpret it as a success and keeps working as if it finished.
Do you have any suggestion about how could I make the python code wait for the actual processing result of the SGE script ?
Ah, btw I tried using qrsh but I don't have permission to use it on the SGE
Thanks!
From your code you want the program to wait for job to finish and return code, right? If so, the qsub sync option is likely what you want:
