how to specify error log file and output file in qsub

Question

I have a qsub script as

#####----submit_job.sh---#####
    #!/bin/sh
    #$ -N job1
    #$ -t 1-100
    #$ -cwd
    SEEDFILE=/home/user1/data1
    SEED=$(sed -n -e "$SGE_TASK_ID p" $SEEDFILE)
    /home/user1/run.sh $SEED 

The problem is-- it puts all error and output files (job1.eJOBID & job1.oJOBID) to the same directory from where I am running qsub submit_job.sh while I want to save these file (output and error log file in same different place (specified as $SEED_output). I tried to change the line as

/home/user1/run.sh $SEED -o $SEED_output

But it didn't work. Any suggestion ?? How can I specify path and name of default output and error log file ??

Answer 1

At first glance, you need brackets around your variable in the -o declaration.

/home/user1/run.sh $SEED -o ${SEED}_output

Otherwise bash is looking for a variable called ${SEED_output} which doesn't exist.
