Hello,

I hope somebody can either point me to the right direction or confirm if this is a bug.

Scenario:

The setup includes two hosts: hostA and hostB
There are two jobs: jobX and and jobY
jobX is submitted and executed on hostA, it sets variable jobX_exit with "-s 'jobX_exit=exitcode' \"

The variable is created with: /usr/local/bin/gbch-var -K -E -C -s 4 jobX_exit

The jobY is submitted with "gbch-rr -Q hostB" from hostA. It has condition  "-c 'jobX_exit<4' \"

After jobX is executed on hostA the variable jobX_exit is set to value 0 (confirmed on both hosts with gbch-vlist).

However jobY is never triggered on hostB, gbch-q shows "**Cond**" .
"V" in gbch-q shows hostA:jobX_exit    0   user user Export Cluster". Note, jobY does not have time spec.


P.S. When variable is created without -K (clustered flag) as:  /usr/local/bin/gbch-var -E -C -s 4 jobX_exit , its value never changes on hostB (at least according to gbch-vlist).

I'll have to look at it. In the new version which I promise to come back to next month or die trying I've got rid of "clustering" and made conditions, which can be arbitrarily complicated expressions with bits of variables do the job and with no host prefix it means the local version thus:

hostA:var1 > var2 + hostB:var3

would mean the same everywhere and would compare the local version of var2 (which need not be exported) with hostA:var1 and hostB:var3
