Problem with a batch job

Hi,

My guess is that you do not have the "condor_submit" script available on the machine where you are running.
This is mandatory in order to ask the job to submit jobs on the condor cluster since we need to call that script to submit the jobs.

They are typically two reasons for that
1) you do not have a condor cluster
2) you are running from a machine which is not allowed to submit jobs on the cluster (some cluster forbids node to submit jobs)

Cheers,

Olivier
