Hello OpenPBS community team, I have OpenPBS 23.06 installed on Ubuntu 22.04. Setting up for Epilogue processing. I can run it properly in /var/spool/pbs/mom\_priv/epilogue script, but via Hook, I get the following error and cannot run it ```auto 03/12/2024 10:07:30;0008;pbs_mom;Job;1032.kvm-pbs;Started, pid = 9039 03/12/2024 10:07:45;0008;pbs_mom;Job;1032.kvm-pbs;Terminated 03/12/2024 10:07:45;0008;pbs_mom;Job;1032.kvm-pbs;kill_job 03/12/2024 10:07:45;0001;pbs_mom;Svr;pbs_mom;scan_for_exiting, chdir failed.

adarsh, Thank you for your reply. execjob\_epilogue is: > I think the problem is in the following areas ```auto trace = { 'line': sys.exc_info()[2].tb_lineno, 'module': sys.exc_info()[2].tb_frame.f_code.co_name, 'exception': sys.exc_info()[0]. __name__ , 'message': sys.exc_info()[1].message, } ``` Correct as follows: ```auto trace = { 'line': sys.exc_info()[2].tb_lineno, 'module': sys.exc_info()[2].tb_frame.f_code.co_name, 'exception': sys.exc_info()[0]. __name__ , 'message': sys.exc_info()[1] } ``` What do you think? Is there a problem? Hiromi, ---

I removed the commented lines from the hook script and ran it, but the result did not change ---

I changed the Line 197 of run\_pelog\_shell.py ‘message’: sys.exc\_info()[1].message,. -\>‘message’: sys.exc\_info()[1]. This fix eliminates the python error, but there seems to be other problems with this Hook. I would like to coexist with cgroup’s Hook and run the epilogue script at the end of the job. I do not intend to stick to this Hook in particular. If there is a simpler way, I would like to try it. Any advice on how to run the epilogue script with pbs\_cgroups Hook ? ---

When executing an epilogue script that outputs to stdout, an error occurred with the default settings. > 04/03/2024 14:45:55;0006;pbs\_python;Hook;pbs\_python;run\_epilogue\_shell;6.kvm-pbs;running epilogue. > 04/03/2024 14:45:56;0006;pbs\_python;Hook;pbs\_python;execjob\_epilogue hook run\_epilogue\_shell encountered an exception: Line 247 in stdout PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘/var/spool/pbs/spool/6.kvm-pbs.OU’ > 04/03/2024 14:45:56;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;6.kvm-pbs;Hook Error: request rejected as filter hook ‘run\_epilogue\_shell’ encountered an exception. Please inform Admin I was able to work around this by changing the hook user to pbsuser. I don’t know why I can’t write to the stdout file as root, but I was able to run the epilogue for the time being! Thank you very much.
