Hi Blair & others,
I suspect others have made changes to the code between these Oct 03 and
Sept 07 dates though I didn't compare VDT version with the LeSC version
directly. My changes done in Sept '07 were only targeted to allow WS
GRAM functionality.
I do remember seeing the issues you mentioned here already in the code -
appending ".real" to the stdout file and the often wrong job-state
evaluation returned from the poll function. I actually did try to fix
those but none of the solutions I came up with worked completely. Since
my goal was to get GT4 working, I decided to leave them as is.
I will take another look at the code to see if I can recall why these
problems exist. Perhaps others have different solutions. It's also
possible that one of my changes triggered a new problem that I didn't
run into.
thanks, Jeff

Which version of the LeSC Globus-SGE adapter is included in VDT?
Good point Yoshio, I should have looked at that to begin with! The

That's using VDT 1.10.1a. I don't have login access to any other
Globus 2 machines which I know are using VDT so I can't compare. But I
know I've received the extra polling output from jobmanager-sge on
some Open Science Grid resources, which also use VDT.
I know that there were some bugs in the LeSC adapter hence we use AIST
version of the Globus-SGE adapter which has added some new features
and fixed bugs in the LeSC version though it was released in 5 years
ago.
Okay, so my guess is that the job stdout/err problems and extra output
from polling were introduced with Jeff's changes, Jeff? Reporting of
job state as active rather than error may have already been a problem,
though needs fixed, hopefully Jeff is our man there.
I've attached the sge.pm from Komolongma for reference.
Cheers,
