Hi, this is monkey_boy (not logged in, as im at home),
- the "touch" is to create an empty dummy file, seperate from your results file.
The reasoning is that your results files will be created at the start of the processing, so your master script cannot check for the existance as proof of completion.
-
The END block always get executed at just before a script terminates, so its as good a place as any to "touch" the file.
-
@done_list is left for you to code, its simple perl, you have a list of jobs somewhere, convert them with a regex into a list of "done" files.
-
In reply to shltn's question, his way is probably better, as you'll hopefully get an error on failure (but given my experience with sun grid engine this is not always the case ;))
Hope this is helpfull.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
