Exit code 191 when running a python script to run a shell file

Question

I'm trying to use a python script to run a series of oommf simulations on a unix cluster but I'm getting stuck at the point where I send a command from python to bash. I'm using the line:-

subprocess.check_call('qsub shellfile.sh')

Which returns exit code 191. What is exit code 191, I can't seem to be able to find it online. It may be a PBS error rather than a unix error but I'm not sure. The error doesn't seem to be in the shell file itself since the only commands in there:-

#!/bin/bash

# This is an example submit script for the hello world program.

# OPTIONS FOR PBS PRO ==============================================================

#PBS -l walltime=1:00:00

# This specifies the job should run for no longer than 24 hours

#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=8:mem=2048mb

# This specifies the job needs 1 'chunk', with 1 CPU core, and 2048 MB of RAM (memory).

#PBS -j oe

# This joins up the error and output into one file rather that making two files

##PBS -o $working_folder/$PBS_JOBID-oommf_log

# This send your output to the file "hello_output" rather than the standard filename

# OPTIONS FOR PBS PRO ==============================================================

#PBS -P HPCA-000987-EFR

#PBS -M ppxsb3@nottingham.ac.uk

#PBS -m abe

# Here we just use Unix command to run our program echo "Running on hostname"

sleep 20

echo "Finished job now""

Which should just print the hostname and 'Finished job now'

Thanks

Answer 1

Exit code 191 indicates that the project code associated with the job is invalid. This is the code in line 13:-

#PBS -P HPCA-000974-EFG

Which tells the cluster which project the code is associated with.
