[07:21] <jamescarr> correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't the pre-start script session run and complete  before anything else?
[07:35] <xnox> jamescarr: well it completes before main process starts (exec or script) of a given job.
[07:38] <xnox> jamescarr: other jobs can be running at the same time. E.g. all jobs which have star on conditions satisfied.
[07:41] <jamescarr> cool. 
[07:41] <jamescarr> I think what happens is my pre-script takes too long so it bails
[07:42] <xnox> jamescarr: it's executed with "set -e" so if anything exits non 0, then starting the job is aborted.
[07:44] <jamescarr> kill timeout 20
[07:44] <jamescarr> tryin that
[07:49] <jamescarr> I set it, but it seems to be ignoring it
[07:49] <jamescarr> does it need to be set within pre-script too?
[07:58] <jamescarr> DAMN
[07:59] <jamescarr> silly typo in exec command. Couldn't see it because the output from the pre-script overwrote the console
