[gradsusr] GrADS Return Code 141

[Huddleston, John]

There could be a number of reasons. Bernd's reply is true in that a cron script does not set a PATH and so by sourcing your profile or .bashrc files it will establish your environment. It is easier to put those PATH assignments in the cron script itself. Add the GrADS variables (GADDIR and GASCRP) as well to find the library scripts.

Second, the error code 141 means it is a SIGPIPE error. 141=128+13. 13 indicates a pipe error. 128 is the bash script error.

Third, it could be related to the resources on your machine itself could be the problem.

Can you give us your script?

Normalerweise liegt das an nicht gesetzten Umgebungsvariablen.

Einfach im Script oben nochmal
. ~/profile
. ~/kshrc

ausfuehren. Dann klappt das. (Meistens)

Subject: [gradsusr] GrADS Return Code 141

Hello,

in my setup I am running into a strange problem right now. I am calling a shell script containing a call to grads from a remote server. When I invoke my shell script manually from the remote server, everything is working fine - however when running through cron, grads silently crashes. Nothing is written on both STDOUT or STDERR. The only thing that I can get is that grads gives a return code 141 in the shell after failing.

Can you tell me what this return code means? Do you have any idea why my job can be run manually but not from cron?

Best regards,
Jonas Kaufmann
