No, you would submit the job as a "scheduler universe" job. Scheduler universe
jobs run on the submit machine - they're not matched, so you can run as many of 
them as you want. DAGMan is the prime example of a scheduler universe job - 
run 'condor_submit_dag -nosubmit' to see what it would tell the schedd to
do.

The reason for running a scheduler universe job is that Condor will automatically
restart it if the machine reboots - you don't have to write fancy cron scripts to
make sure that it is still running for you.
