[Queue-developers] no luck with latest development Queue

[Hazelrig, C. C. (C. - Simtech) <Chr...@hw...>]

Greetings,

Having a few problems with latest Queue development version.  I'm trying it
with just two nodes (host1, host2), each running RedHat Linux 6.2.  On the
master (host1), I am running queued (queued --debug --foreground),
queue_manager, and task_manager.  On the slave (host2), I am running queued
(queued --debug --foreground) and task_manager.  From host1 I execute the
following:

queue -D -i -w -n -a dummylicense -H host2 -- hostname

I get the following error message:

Queue.c Error: no |'s allowed in Queue software

If I remove the -H option OR the -D option, no error is reported, but no
result is reported either.  The command seems to go off into the weeds and
never comes back.  The status file says host1 and host2 are VALIDHOSTS but
lists nothing as AVAILHOSTS, and the submitted job is listed under
HIGH_WAITING.  It appears that queue_manager thinks both nodes are busy.
Upon submitting the job, queue_manager reports "After getting licenses" and
then "After getting user's environment" and then "Timed out".  Attempting to
kill the job with ^C returns to the command line, but doesn't actually kill
the job, it is still listed in the status file.  Using task_control -k
<JOB_ID> does kill it, and queue returns the following message:

Queue.c Error: did not get an assigned host

I'm stumped.  Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
