Hi,

I'm trying to run the run.py script through a job scheduler. Is there a way to tell run.py to use an existing bjam instead of trying to build its own ? That build process is stalling.

[alainm_at_p101 develop]$ pstree 70922
sh───build.sh───jam0───mkdir
[alainm_at_p101 develop]$
0 Z alainm    71041  71040  0  80   0 -     0 exit   15:54 ?        00:00:00 [mkdir] <defunct>

I do not want to investigate why its defunct ("jam0" seems to indicate that a bootstraping bjam is involved, which an explanation per se).
I just want to work around it. I read in the documentation that run.py will build b2 "if needed" so I guess that putting a precompiled bjam in the righ place should do ?

Thanks

Alain
