OK, so I gave up on starting my perl script using cronsub, which seems to work only if I give the perl script a parameter (WTF?), and instead altered it to be run manually, generating a shell script that could then start via cronsub. Script ( /home/magnus/cronjobs/most_wanted_wrapper.sh ) : #!/bin/ksh qsub -N mw_dewiki_p -j Y -o /home/magnus/cronjobs/update_most_wanted.dewiki_p.out -l sqlprocs-s5=1 /home/magnus/cronjobs/update_most_wanted.pl dewiki_p qsub -N mw_enwiki_p -j Y -o /home/magnus/cronjobs/update_most_wanted.enwiki_p.out -l sqlprocs-s1=1 /home/magnus/cronjobs/update_most_wanted.pl enwiki_p qsub -N mw_frwiki_p -j Y -o /home/magnus/cronjobs/update_most_wanted.frwiki_p.out -l sqlprocs-s6=1 /home/magnus/cronjobs/update_most_wanted.pl frwiki_p qsub -N mw_plwiki_p -j Y -o /home/magnus/cronjobs/update_most_wanted.plwiki_p.out -l sqlprocs-s2=1 /home/magnus/cronjobs/update_most_wanted.pl plwiki_p Running this script, or any of its individual lines, directly from shell, works absolutely fine. However, on > cronsub mostwanted /home/magnus/cronjobs/most_wanted_wrapper.sh I get (in the error file): /home/magnus/cronjobs/most_wanted_wrapper.sh[2]: 7274 Segmentation Fault(coredump) /home/magnus/cronjobs/most_wanted_wrapper.sh[3]: 7289 Segmentation Fault(coredump) /home/magnus/cronjobs/most_wanted_wrapper.sh[4]: 7290 Segmentation Fault(coredump) /home/magnus/cronjobs/most_wanted_wrapper.sh[5]: 7298 Segmentation Fault(coredump) I tried replacing qsub with cronsub, only to be met with a flood of errors relating to all the options it doesn't know, including the sql slot reservation (I guess that's my punishment for trying to be a good citizen...). Removing basically all options, using only lines like this: cronsub -s mw_dewiki_p /home/magnus/cronjobs/update_most_wanted.pl dewiki_p in the wrapper script, again runs peachy from shell, but barfs coredumps again when run via cronsub. So, as far as I am concerned, it's broken.
