Yes, apparently. I'm starting mine on Friday ;-) The thing is that I'm rather confused about this drmaa_wifaborted stuff and have no idea whether it's just something that should have been changed long time ago in the specification or the SGE implementation is buggy. As a matter of fact, as I've been involved (at least partly) in implementations for LSF, PBS and did some fixes for Condor, I can tell that most implementations also behave just like SGE, i.e. drmaa_wifaborted = true if job was terminated, whatever the actual state. But please correct me if I'm wrong. I haven't seen the source codes for quite a long time. Another question arises if the specification is actually how it was meant to be. What is the output of wifexited, wifsignalled, wifaborted for job that was terminated during execution? I have always assumed that aborted = true. But if we assume that aborted = false in this case (because it was terminated after having entered the running state as spec says) then should it be signaled = true? -- Piotr Domagalski
