The following is an example but this behaviour happens with every call >>n = 10; qsubcellfun(@rand, repmat({10},1,n), 'timreq', 600, 'memreq', 100e6) submitting job marzwi_mentat318_p11766_b3_j001... qstat job id 676227.dccn-l014.dccn.nl submitting job marzwi_mentat318_p11766_b3_j002... qstat job id 676228.dccn-l014.dccn.nl submitting job marzwi_mentat318_p11766_b3_j003... qstat job id 676229.dccn-l014.dccn.nl submitting job marzwi_mentat318_p11766_b3_j004... qstat job id 676230.dccn-l014.dccn.nl submitting job marzwi_mentat318_p11766_b3_j005... qstat job id 676231.dccn-l014.dccn.nl submitting job marzwi_mentat318_p11766_b3_j006... qstat job id 676232.dccn-l014.dccn.nl submitting job marzwi_mentat318_p11766_b3_j007... qstat job id 676233.dccn-l014.dccn.nl submitting job marzwi_mentat318_p11766_b3_j008... qstat job id 676234.dccn-l014.dccn.nl submitting job marzwi_mentat318_p11766_b3_j009... qstat job id 676235.dccn-l014.dccn.nl submitting job marzwi_mentat318_p11766_b3_j010... qstat job id 676236.dccn-l014.dccn.nl It waits for ever for answers but the Torque says the jobs have been completed: 676227.dccn-l014 ...11766_b3_j001 marzwi 00:00:00 C matlab 676228.dccn-l014 ...11766_b3_j002 marzwi 00:00:00 C matlab 676229.dccn-l014 ...11766_b3_j003 marzwi 00:00:00 C matlab 676230.dccn-l014 ...11766_b3_j004 marzwi 00:00:00 C matlab 676231.dccn-l014 ...11766_b3_j005 marzwi 00:00:00 C matlab 676232.dccn-l014 ...11766_b3_j006 marzwi 00:00:00 C matlab 676233.dccn-l014 ...11766_b3_j007 marzwi 00:00:00 C matlab 676234.dccn-l014 ...11766_b3_j008 marzwi 00:00:00 C matlab 676235.dccn-l014 ...11766_b3_j009 marzwi 00:00:00 C matlab 676236.dccn-l014 ...11766_b3_j010 marzwi 00:00:00 C matlab >>ver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MATLAB Version 7.11.0.584 (R2010b) MATLAB License Number: 38957 Operating System: Linux 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 17:08:00 EDT 2012 x86_64 Java VM Version: Java 1.6.0_17-b04 with Sun Microsystems Inc.

Mhh, the problem has now been fixed it seems?
Marcel Zwiers - 2012-08-30 09:50:29 +0200
I discovered what the problem was: A cd command in my startup.m that aparently interfered with qsubcellfun's working

Thanks for digging into this. This is a bug in the cosde, because the case was not correctly caught and transferred ro the end user. I cannot grasp it yet, but let's discuss when i am back from the biomag conference.

(In reply to comment #3) Hi Marcel, Can you provide a piece of code that allows to replicate the problem? In case it is not reproducible, please close the bug. Robert
Marcel Zwiers - 2012-09-20 13:55:00 +0200
To reproduce the bug add the following line to your startup.m file: cd('The-name-of-any-folder-in-your-home-directory') And run: >>n = 10; qsubcellfun(@rand, repmat({10},1,n), 'timreq', 600, 'memreq', 100e6) And then wait for ever...
Marcel Zwiers - 2012-09-20 13:56:51 +0200
Oh yeah, run that command from a different location. E.g. run: >>cd('~'); n = 10; qsubcellfun(@rand, repmat({10},1,n), 'timreq', 600, 'memreq', 100e6)

It was easy to fix by passing the full filename of the job mat file in the script. roboos@mentat002> svn commit Sending qsub/qsubfeval.m Transmitting file data . Committed revision 7210.
