I create my script files on Windows, is there anything I need to do before I use these files?

If you create script files on your Windows machine and then copy them over to ARGO cluster, make sure that you run the following command on those files before you use them:

$ dos2unix "/path/to/filename"

Windows based editors put special characters to denote line return or newline. This “dos2unix” command strips the file of these special characters and converts the file into UNIX format.
