[drmaa-wg] Wait Question

[Daniel Templeton]

I almost agree.  My issue is the same as your issue with 
DRMAA_ERRNO_INVALID_ARGUMENT.  The job, DRMAA_JOB_IDS_SESSION_ANY, is 
valid.  It just happens that at the moment there are no valid jobs in 
the system.  A DRMAA_NO_VALID_JOBS error would be more to my liking.  It 
might also apply to drmaa_control(ALL).
