OK. I don't know if this is the *best* solution, but it does seem to work.
I noticed (by putting commands in Rocks' client customiztion file, extend-compute.xml) that the spool directory was there but (at least during this part of the install) was owned by root: /bin/ls -ld /opt/gridengine/default/spool drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 25 14:33 /opt/gridengine/default/spool So as an experiment, I explicitly changed the ownership of that directory to sge: echo "Setting ownership of /opt/gridengine/default/spool" >> /root/Post-Install-Log /bin/chown sge:sge /opt/gridengine/default/spool echo "/bin/ls -ld /opt/gridengine/default/spool" >> /root/Post-Install-Log /bin/ls -ld /opt/gridengine/default/spool >> /root/Post-Install-Log which gives the output in the logfile of: Setting ownership of /opt/gridengine/default/spool /bin/ls -ld /opt/gridengine/default/spool drwxr-xr-x 2 sge sge 4096 May 25 14:33 /opt/gridengine/default/spool After doing that, sgeexecd came up properly. Thanks to all for your comments... JY _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
