Thanks Reuti as always. If you have a *default* starter_method script please post it as it will help many since it's tricky to get everything right for those of us who don't know GE inside-out.

In an effort to make things as easy as possible for our user base, I am using Grid Engine "starter_method" to run our blcr_submit script which in turns runs BLCR cr_run. All is working well but I have a question with regards to the starter_method script which looks something like this for our queue: $ qconf -sq free64 | grep starter_method starter_method /data/hpc/sge/starter-method.sh $ cat /data/hpc/sge/starter-method.sh #!/bin/sh if [ "$SGE_CKPT_ENV" = blcr ] then <our BLCR scripts> else exec $SGE_STARTER_SHELL_PATH "$@" fi My question is with what is the *default* starter method, the else part? With respect to the else section, Is this correct? exec $SGE_STARTER_SHELL_PATH "$@"To mimic the default behavior, it's also necessary to check SGE_STARTER_SHELL_START_MODE and SGE_STARTER_USE_LOGIN_SHELL. In case it's relevant - as I always use SGE_STARTER_SHELL_START_MODE=unix_behavior, I just call: exec "$@" If you have different settings for the queues, it's necessary to check for SGE_STARTER_SHELL_START_MODE=posix_compliant and call the configured shell or just the script/binary like you mentioned above resp. a proper case for "script_from_stdin". -- Reuti
