What do you know, the test doesn't break! I've run it through a few times
and all is good. Will keep trying and when I get anything I'll let you know.
Cheers

| Sounds like windows.
|
| This error would appear to be from perl, being unable to open
| the UNC path to the script.
|
| ie. rush is invoking:
|
| perl //starfish/indian/rush/submit-maya-cweb.pl [args..]
|
| ..and perl is starting OK, but when it tries to open
|the perl script
| to load the file into the interpreter, it fails, and
|reports the above
| error. I might need a little more context (the whole
|log file) to be
| sure.
|
| Assuming that's the case, I'd say the real WIN32 error is being
| obscured by perl here, as it's probably using fopen() internally
| which isn't a real WIN32 function, and so we're not getting the
| real WIN32 error back.
|
| Since it sounds like you can replicate, so I would try
|submitting
| a job that uses a DOS function like 'type' to access the file,
| so that you might get a WIN32 error back from 'type' indicating
| the real problem, eg:
|
|C:\> rush -submit
|frames 1-300
|logdir //starfish/indicate/rush/logs
|command cmd /c type \\starfish\indian\rush\submit-maya-cweb.pl
|cpus +any=10@1
|<-- types ^Z then ENTER on an empty line
|
| Be sure to set the 'cpus' to something similar your other jobs
| are using.
|
| Hopefully you'll get a 'Fail' for a frame that doesn't work,
| and a real WIN32 error message in the log showing a more
| descriptive error.
