It looks like this is having trouble getting the caseroot. Normal usage is to run ./case.submit from within your case directory. Is that what you're doing?

I would especially like to see what directory / path you're in when you run each command.

 

[qinchuang]

When I run./case.submit, the case is running. But when I run with sbatch slurm.txt, I get the error mentioned above.

 

[sacks]

I think the problem is that, in your command srun ./case.submit 1000000, the case.submit script is probably treating 1000000 as the optional caseroot argument to that script, so it thinks that you're trying to point to a directory with path 1000000, which clearly isn't a directory.
