Say i submit a file (file1.pbs) to PBS, and it is queued. In this file, I refer to a second file that the computer will run (file2.namd). Then, while file1.pbs is queued, I make an important change in file2.namd. Once I save file2.namd, I check the job, and it is still queued (hasn't run yet). My question is: Will the change be implemented, or did the computer already read file2.namd, even though the job is queued?' Thank you
I tested this with PBS, and the change was implemented. In other words, PBS calls file2.namd only once the job begins, not while its submission script (file1.pbs) is in queue.
