<p>The environment you get when submitting tasks remotely is different from that when submitting locally.

<p><strong>What to do:</strong></p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Change the <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-suite-definition"><em class="xref std std-term">suite definition</em></a></li>
<li>Load and begin the <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-suite"><em class="xref std std-term">suite</em></a></li>
<li>It may not work immediately. Have a look in the file <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">$HOME/course/</span><em><span class="pre">host</span></em><span class="pre">.</span><em><span class="pre">port</span></em><span class="pre">.ecf.log</span></tt> to see why.</li>
