I'm using Torque and I want my PBS log+error output to be appended to previous log/error file instead of overwriting it.

You need to do this as a separate step in the job script. cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR mkdir $PBS_JOBID mycode 1> $PBS_JOBID/myoutput.out 2> $PBS_JOBID/myerror.err cat $PBS_JOBID/myoutput.out >> previouslogoutput.out

  • Hi. Sorry but my Torque setup is actually appending by default instead of overwriting but I don't know what the previous sysadmin did. I was wondering what was the step so that I could reverse it. – user121392 Sep 15 '17 at 09:15
  • check prologue/eplilogue scripts to see if there is anything there. How does it append? When you run a new job where does the output file go now? – Tux_DEV_NULL Sep 15 '17 at 09:50
