Re: using jobid in output & error file names

Yup, the config.log has:

ac_cv_func_wordexp=yes

I tried another tack this time. I have the following

#PBS -S /bin/sh
#PBS -k oe
#PBS -e /home/some_reg_user/FT72/hostname.error_user001.$PBS_JOBID
#PBS -o /home/some_reg_user/FT72/hostname.output_user001.$PBS_JOBID
#PBS -N new_name
#PBS -V
#PBS -l nodes=node017,walltime=00:05:00
/bin/hostname 

This produced error and output files but instead of them being in
the FT72 directory with the name specified they ended up in
/home/some_reg_user/  as new_name.e6278 and new_name.o6278
so my naming specifications above got ignored.

Is there some specific order in which the various #PBS lines above
should be listed in my pbs job script?

BTW, this is with torque-2.1.1 from around June 23rd.
