Looks like stata doesn't print anything to stdin or stderr, but does create a .log file with the same name as your .do file.

stata-mp test
cd /mnt/glusterfs/chekh/stata-mp-test
My test.do :
clear sysuse auto describe
My job.script:
#!/bin/bash # use the current directory #$ -cwd # mail this address #$ -M chekh@stanford.edu # send mail on begin, end, suspend #$ -m bes # copy current env vars to job #$ -V stata-mp -b do test.do
The job script uses '-V' to copy the env vars from your current session, so need to load the right module first:
[chekh@corn13.stanford.edu] /mnt/glusterfs/chekh/stata-mp-test [0] $ module load StataMP-12.1 [chekh@corn13.stanford.edu] /mnt/glusterfs/chekh/stata-mp-test [0] $ which stata-mp /mnt/glusterfs/software/non-free/stata-mp-12/stata-mp
Test that the command works outside of grid engine:
stata-mp -b do test.do
It produces a test.log as expected.
Submit the job:
[chekh@corn13.stanford.edu] /mnt/glusterfs/chekh/stata-mp-test [0] $ qsub job.script Your job 416828 ("job.script") has been submitted
The job is sitting there a long time because the cluster is busy and there are no immediately open slots:
$ qstat job-ID prior name user state submit/start at queue slots ja-task-ID ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 416828 0.37250 job.script chekh qw 09/04/2012 17:04:24
Submit to the test queue instead:
qsub -l testq=1 job.script
It runs immediately and produces the expected test.log file.

troubleshooting
We've had a report of a user having trouble with Stata v14 and they fixed it by modifying their file:
~/.stata14/console/stata14.rc
So double-check your Stata settings files. Probably an easy thing to do is just to delete your .stata14 directory and start fresh, or you can compare to your ~/.stata13/console/stata13.rc
