Hi Ali,
could you be a bit more specific about what they said about using bsub?
The lonestar user guide is fairly clear about bsub being the correct way
to submit jobs. I have used the runbatch script on lonestar successfully
as recently as about 6 months ago, but haven't had time on lonestar lately.
You may wish to try starting an interactive run
(http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/services/userguides/lonestar/ under "Running
Code") and then executing the ibrun command that is found in the
runbatch script and seeing if you get the same result (and any
additional output).
Best,
Peter
