title: Python: PBS submission, what happens if I change script?
body: <p>I have a script <code>job.bin</code> for executing a code in python (<code>pythoncode.py</code>) on a cluster, submitting jobs via <code>qsub</code>. In <code>job.bin</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cd /path/to/my/python/code
  python pythoncode.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What happens if:</p>
  
  <p>a) while <code>pythoncode.py</code> is running, I change its content</p>
  
  <p>b) while <code>pythoncode.py</code> is held on queue, I change its content</p>
  
  <p><code>pythoncode.py</code> contains some parameters that I can vary. In situations a) and b), will a change of any of these parameters affect the already begun or queuing run? </p>
