title: Kaldi: Output of qsub was: qsub: illegal -c value "" when trying to run the Common Voice recipe
body: <p>I am trying to run Kaldi's Common Voice recipe (<a href="https://github.com/kaldi-asr/kaldi/blob/master/egs/commonvoice/s5/run.sh" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>kaldi/egs/commonvoice/s5/run.sh</code></a>) on my computer (i.e., not on a cluster). It crashes with the error message <code>Output of qsub was: qsub: illegal -c value ""</code>. What could be the issue?</p>

  <p>Specifically, here is the entire error stack:</p>
