The xlong queue will kill your job after 177.6 hours of CPU time in "SLAC units"... which is about ~15 hours of real CPU time.
See all queues with "bqueues". You can see the the details of a queue with "bqueues -l xlong".
Note the "-R rhel40" above, which forces your job onto a machine compatible with the ATLAS releases (gcc34, RHEL4).
"bhosts -R rhel40" will show you which batch nodes are in that list.
"lsinfo -r" will show you all resourse lists, like the rhel40 one.
Check your batch jobs with "bjobs".

Don't forget to set random seeds when you're generating MC with custom scripts! This python code helps set some:

Code Block

import random
random.seed()
R1=random.randint(0,100000000)
R2=random.randint(0,100000000)
R3=random.randint(0,100000000)
R4=random.randint(0,100000000)
PYTHR = "PYTHIA "+str(R1)+" "+str(R2)
PYTHRI = "PYTHIA_INIT "+str(R3)+" "+str(R4)
print PYTHR
print PYTHRI

This will print out the MC truth:

Code Block

from AthenaCommon.AlgSequence import AlgSequence
job=AlgSequence()
from TruthExamples.TruthExamplesConf import PrintMC
PrintMC.PrintStyle = "Vertex"
job += PrintMC()
