[slurm-users] strigger being called but program not executing (take 2)

[Jared Baker]

I suppose after looking at your other post (w/ images) you had tried
quoting elements. I'd be suspicious about using IO redirection here within
Slurm. I imagine there is no guarantee that Slurm triggers invokes a shell
either and perhaps just does an exec. I'd wrap it up in a shell script
file, make it executable, and try from there too and just use a single
argument to program to test.
