i am trying to run a calculation on a remote computer. since it takes
a long time for it to finish, i would like to submit it as a job and
then eventually even close the shell and not worry about it. here is
what i have been trying to do:

i have a test routine test.pro, which reads:

PRO test
print,'Finished test.pro'
return
END

i then do on the remote machine over an ssh terminal:
> at now
at> idl test.pro
at> CTRL+D
job 347 at 2004-04-01 16:44

the email, that i get when the job is finished, reads:

IDL Version 6.0 (linux x86 m32). (c) 2003, Research Systems, Inc.
Installation number: 94586-19.
Licensed for use by: Department License

Executing local startup file

PRO test
^
% Programs can't be compiled from single statement mode.
At: /home/xray1/tbeetz/test.pro, Line 1
Finished test.pro

END
^
% Syntax error.
At: /home/xray1/tbeetz/test.pro, Line 5


does anyone know, how to fix this or if there is a better way of doing
it? i guess in this mode it only takes single commands? thanks a lot!
