Hi, all,

Thanks for your help, I looked at the run script for the tests and wrote a
similar script according to the test script, which looks like (named as
Run.test):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

cat << eof > in.md
 test
 &cntrl
  imin = 0, irest = 1, ntx =7,
  ntb = 2, pres0 = 1.0, ntp =1,
  taup = 2.0,
  cut = 10, ntr =0,
  ntc = 2, ntf = 2,
  tempi = 300.0, temp0 = 300.0,
  ntt = 3, gamma_ln = 1.0,
  nstlim = 10000, dt = 0.001,
  ntpr = 200, ntwx = 200, ntwr = 2000
 /
eof

$DO_PARALLEL $AMBERHOME/exe/sander -O -i in.md -o test3.out -c
model_mass_md2.rst -p model_mass.prmtop -r test3.rst -x test3.mdcrd
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and then I used nohup to run this job as:

nohup ./Run.test &

And it ran OK without any errors, gave me same outputs as I ran on other
machines, therefore, I think it is as David suggested, it is because of the
qsub I used to submit my job. And I tried to change the shell script i used,
still no luck,
