Exercise 5c: Running Multiple Scripts

If more than one Pre script is to be run before the executable, it needs to be defined in the submit file:

Create exercise5c.sub using the following: 

    executable              = welcome.sh
    output                  = output/ex_05.$(ClusterId).$(ProcId).out
    error                   = error/ex_05.$(ClusterId).$(ProcId).err
    log                     = log/ex_05.$(ClusterId).log

    transfer_input_files    = your_path/file01.sh, your_path/file02.sh
    +PreCmd                 = "file01.sh"
    queue

    +PreCmd                 = "file02.sh"
    queue

The script file01.sh contains : 

#!/bin/bash

echo "Hello! I am exercise number 5 "> exercise05-01.txt
The script file02.sh contains : 
#!/bin/bash

echo "Hello! I am exercise number 5 "> exercise05-02.txt
Execute condor_submit exercise5c.sub to submit the job.

Note: Two different Pre scripts can not be defined as: 

+PreCmd = "file01.sh", "file02.sh"
This will not be accepted as a known command.

The following will also fail: 

+PreCmd = "file01.sh"
+PreCmd = "file02.sh"
queue
In this case only the second Pre script will be executed.
