Hi Peter,

I cannot use ~jphillip/NAMD_scripts/runbatch_2.7b1 because it's not
readable or executable for the world:

-rwxr-x--- 1 jphillip tvn 1488 Apr 1 20:08
/u/ac/jphillip/NAMD_scripts/runbatch_2.7b1

/u/ac/jphillip/NAMD_scripts/runbatch_2.7b1: Permission denied.

and I'm not in group "tvn".

Sorry, I post here the full batchscript:

#!/bin/csh
#PBS -l nodes=4:ppn=8
#PBS -l walltime=02:00:00
#PBS -l mem=4gb
#PBS -N T300_1auqe
#PBS -j oe
#PBS -q normal

echo $PBS_NODEFILE
cat $PBS_NODEFILE

cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

# Load necessary software
soft add +mpichvmi-intel

# Determine the number of CPUs
set NPROCS = `wc -l $PBS_NODEFILE | awk '{print $1}'`

mpirun -machinefile $PBS_NODEFILE -np $NPROCS
~jphillip/NAMD_2.7b1_Linux-x86_64/namd2 inputs/config_heat.namd > logfile

Thanks for your help.
