Hi,  
After restarting the node, it started to behave strangely. Although other nodes in the cluster can run the jobs, this specific node gives an error. Restarting the node and PBS did not solve the problem. Below is the output of error file and log file. Any help is appreciated.  
////////Output of error file.//////  
Exception: [‘.//home/ali\_0/Madgraph/MG5\_aMC\_v2\_6\_7/bin/slepton14\_TeV/pbs\_calistirma/6239[32].hep-node0/madevent/bin/internal/restore\_data’, ‘default’] fails with no such file or directory

Thanks, @adarsh for the reply. If scp were a problem, wouldn’t I have the same problem with other nodes as well? But, I am having the issue with only this node.

Please submit / run the above script by updating the correct hostname of ot node ( :host=) , so that it runs on that specific node and see whether it runs or not.

Thank you @watzinki , did the job run, did you see any .o and .e files in the job submission directory  
You can enable the job history and then submit the job  
`qmgr -c "set server job_history_enable=true"`

This looks good to me, There are no issues with the compute node.

- e file is empty , as there are no standard errors
- o file has the hostname, that is the result of running /bin/hostname command

All good.

Hello @adarsh again. When I tried to submit a different job, I got the following error.  
Do you think problem is due to NFS related or something else?  
/var/spool/pbs/mom\_priv/jobs/6291.hep-node0.SC: line 59: ./merge.pl: Permission denied

Seems like permissions issue. Please always make sure whether you can reach/execute that script on that compute node first. Always use absolute path in the job scripts.
