#Condor: Binary file not found

Question

Condor is unable to find the binary file therm2_events but the file is there. Below is the script of job submit file:

executable = runevents.sh
output = scheddfiles/output$(ProcId).out
error = scheddfiles/error$(ProcId).err
log = scheddfiles/log$(ProcId).log
RequestCpus = 4
queue 1

Bash script lines from the runevents.sh:

#!/bin/bash   
  
function f_script_usage()
{
  echo "This script generates events with the \"therm2_events\" program"
  echo "Usage:"
  echo "runevents.sh [EVENTS_INI] [PPID]"
  echo "runevents.sh [OPTION]"
  echo "  [EVENTS_INI]          settings file for therm2_events; default: \"\""
  echo "  [PPID]                parent's system process ID; default: 0"
  echo "  [OPTION]"
  echo "    -h | --help         this screen"
  echo "This script makes use of global variables TH2_EVENTS_INI_ and TH2_PPID_"
  echo
  exit 0
}

function f_intro()
{
  echo "-=[ runevents.sh ]=-----------------------------------------------"
  echo "- Started at:     $(date +"%F %T %Z")"
  echo "- [EVENTS_INI]    $TH2_EVENTS_INI_"
  echo "- [PPID]          $TH2_PPID_"
  echo "------------------------------------------------------------------"
}

function f_error_message()
{
  case "$1" in
    1) ERRORMESS_="ERROR #$1: therm2_events reported error.";;
    *) ERRORMESS_="ERROR #$1: unknown type";;
  esac
  echo "-=[ runevents.sh ]=-----------------------------------------------"
  echo "- $ERRORMESS_"
  echo "------------------------------------------------------------------"
  exit $1
}
function f_global_variables()
{
  if [ -z $TH2_EVENTS_INI_ ]; then
    if ! [ -z $1 ]; then
      TH2_EVENTS_INI_=$1
    fi
  fi

  if [ -z $TH2_PPID_ ]; then
    if ! [ -z $2 ]; then
      TH2_PPID_=$2
    fi
  fi
}

  f_script_usage
fi
f_global_variables $1 $2

f_intro
if ! ./therm2_events $TH2_EVENTS_INI_ $TH2_PPID_; then
  f_error_message 1
fi

exit 0

I tried to generate events by submitting job in Condor.If I run the binary file without Condor then it runs and gives some output in terms of a logfile. The same thing I expect when the job runs in Condor but somehow Condor could not found the file and the error file contains condor_exec.exe: line 90: ./therm2_events: No such file or directory. What is the possible solution for this? Thanks in advance.

Looks like you need to transfer this helper program along with your HTCondor job. Try adding

transfer_input_file = therm2_events

to you condor submit file.
