Hi Steve and Maarten, First of all thank you for your replies. We are in downtime now and until this afternoon. Before the downtime I removed a variable ligne "globus_tcp_port_range" from a file on the CE. I don't remeber which file it was, but I remember that the variable was in lower case and the file contains about 10 lines. After this I submitted jobs doning "env" command. The result was that the jobs succeded and GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE was not defined. When CGG-LCG2 nodes will be running I will try somme lcg-xx jobs and keep you informed. But my question is : Is it necessary to unset GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE to have lcg-xx commands working ? If yes, why this variable was introduced by yaim? and if no, lcg-xx commands hanging, could it be due to other problem ? Thank you for your help. Cheers.
