		                        | Hi all, 
 In the past NWChem worked well on my cluster, but recently it doesn't run as I expect given that I put a very simple input for it to run, and all of the sudden the supposed calculation did not start. I am very puzzled as to what actually happened and why doesn't it work.
 
 Following is my .nw input file (named MP2_run1.nw). The MP2-01.xyz file exists in the same directory as the .nw file and the submission script.
 
 
 title "HCl+4H2O SIP Form MP2/cc-pVTZ Optimization Run #1"
scratch_dir   ./scratch
permanent_dir ./perm
charge 0
start HCl4H2O_MP2CCPVTZ_R01
geometry units angstrom noautosym noautoz
   load format xyz MP2-01.xyz
end
basis
   *  library  cc-pVTZ
end
driver
   xyz HCl4H2O_SIP_MP2CCPVTZ_run01
   maxiter 20
end
task mp2 optimize
 
 Here is the submission script (the cluster is SGE-based).
 
 
 #!/bin/bash
### SGE job parameters
#$ -N HCl4Wat_MP2CCPVTZ_MP2_1
#$ -q batch.q
#$ -l h_rt=20:00:00
#$ -pe orte 60
#$ -cwd
#$ -j y
#$ -S /bin/bash
#$ -V
#$ -M myemail@someinstitution.edu
### BEGIN timestamp
echo ""
echo -n "BEGIN: "
date
echo ""
### Program Execution
workDir=/home/my_username/optimization/HCl4Wat/SIP/temp
mpirun -np 60 nwchem-6.5 $workDir/MP2_run1.nw > $workDir/MP2_run1.out
### END timestamp
echo ""
echo -n "END: "
date
 
 NWChem output gave me the following (it didn't even give the database file corresponding to the "start" directive in the permanent directory as stated in the input file)

 It did not do anything at all, and immediately after that part of the output was the citation and running time summary. Could you please give me some suggestions as to what might happen or what do I need to do to fix this? Thank you.

		                        | 9:24:33 AM PST - Tue, Feb 3rd 2015 |  |  | "#" sign in title 
 |  
		                        | Khun Wasut The "#" in the title string is causing the NWChem input file to ignore the rest of the input file.
 
 How to fix:
 Either replace  "#"  with something else or put the backslash  "\"  sign just before it, e.g.
 
 "HCl+4H2O SIP Form MP2/cc-pVTZ Optimization Run \#1"

		                        | Edoapra, 
 Thank you so much! I went so far to recompile the whole thing but didn't realize that the problem is just escaping the character in the title.
