Comment 18 for bug 1071765

Hi Brian,

Thanks a lot for the tar ball.
Looks like that this is (at least very close to it) the version that CMS is using for their official generation.

The way to submit to the cluster is very close to the standard version:
(here is the diff)
[@Oliviers-MacBook-Pro ~]$ diff Downloads/MG5v1.4.8/madgraph/various/cluster.py Documents/eclipse/1.4.8.4/madgraph/various/cluster.py
562,564c562,564
< command = ['bsub',#'-o', stdout,
< '-J', me_dir] #,
< #'-e', stderr]
---
> command = ['bsub','-o', stdout,
> '-J', me_dir,
> '-e', stderr]

as you see the problem seems to be linked to the way to specify the path of the output file / error file

In most of the case, the stdout/stderr are redirected to /dev/null.
In all those case, (i.e. output/error file not specify) I have pass to the syntax specify in your version.

So this should allow you to finish the survey.
I'm not 100% sure that my modification will be enough for the submission which requires a specific output file.
But I hope so (if the problem is only because of /dev/null then it should be fine).

Those change will be merged in 1.5.5, which will be public in a couple of hours.

Thanks so much,

Olivier
