Hmm... this is probably a script that works fine on your login node but not on your worker nodes or vise versa? The fact that it is writing to standard error and happens for each new shell is probably what is causing Galaxy jobs to fail - Galaxy is thinking the underlying applications are writing content to standard error and failing the job as a result. You could probably just rework the line to suppress standard error as follows (I think):
ulimit -v 60000000000000 2>&1 > /dev/null || true Otherwise - you may want to consider figuring out which nodes this should not be running on - and place an if before the ulimit. The details of that are going to vary wildly based on your architecture however. Hope this helps. -John On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 5:44 AM, Ido Tamir <ta...@imp.ac.at> wrote: > I simply removed the ulimit and the jobs complete successfully, > but I still wonder why it does not work and would like to put the ulimit > again in place. > > It happens also with very simple jobs, like filter tool on a 7k region file > for “chr1”. > > thank you very much, > ido > > > On 10 Nov 2014, at 11:34, Ido Tamir <ta...@imp.ac.at> wrote: > >> Hi, >> I updated to the latest galaxy distribution (after one year).
