How to qsub idl job on cluster? -

i'd use qsub submit idl job. there errors. script follows:

##################################### #$ -s /bin/bash ##$ -j y #$ -cwd #$ -m e ### pe size must multiple of 12! ###$ -pe impi4 24 ### wallclock 48 hours #$ -l h_rt=48:00:00 #$ -m emailaddress #$ -n 'name' #$ -o 'name' #$ -e 'name' source ~/.bashrc cd /mydirectory echo "start time:" date  idl -e .com file1     -e file2 ##################################### 

i have source .bashrc first make library in idl work(for reason must in way). need first compile file1 make file2 work smoothly, ie. in normal terminal command line, need .com file1 carriage return file2 no run or anything. here doesn't work, error says

idl command not found   -e command not found  

why? tried add \r , !c behand file1 , seemed not working , delete -e before file2, still not. use suse os.

thank @mgalloy 's advice, said

pro program    .compile file1    file2 end 

and got errors

pro program            ^    % programs can't compiled single statement mode.   at: /directory/program.pro, line 1 % compiled module: xxx several compiled steps % attempt call undefined procedure: 'file2'. % execution halted at: $main$      end  ^ % syntax error. 

you have 2 problems. first, idl not being found. put full path it, e.g.,

/usr/local/exelis/idl/bin/idl 

secondly, , maybe thirdly, can't have 2 "-e" arguments , need quotes around command multiple words. so, put idl commands in file, my_program.pro:

.compile file1 file2 

and call this:

/usr/local/exelis/idl/bin/idl /full/path/to/my_program.pro 

note: no "-e" in above, running commands in batch file, not executing idl statement.
