SPM_HOST not being seen

[dball]

Hi,

If I send a client bash command of qbsub env I can see my SPM_HOST=10.1.9.198  If however I submit a GUI cmdline job of env, using Qube 5.4.5 GUI, SPM_HOST=10.1.9.198 doesn't show. The result is my Mental ray jobs fail. This is with the Export Environment flag ticked in the client settings.

Whats the fix for this?

I'm getting the feeling that most of my problems are with environment variables. How should these be set up? I have read the brief mention in the FAQ about Maya's env vars but what about Mental Ray standalone.

Everything works fine on the worker machine if I submit the job in a bash shell, as soon as I add the qbsub command the job fails because Qube isn't reading the ~/.profile. Should these variable be placed somewhere other than ~/.profile.

It turns out that the SPM_HOST needs to be set in a tcsh shell and not bash. I put mine into ~/.tcshrc with setenv and all works fine now.
