Re: [Condor-users] Condor-G - job submission problem - updated

[Jaime Frey <jfrey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The scratch directory configured in $GL/etc/gram-service-*/jndi- 
config.xml must exist and be writable by the user the job will run  
as. Condor then requests that a subdirectory be created, which is  
where all the job's files are placed.

Strangely, when I did some quick testing with Globus 4.0.1 just now, $ 
{GLOBUS_USER_HOME}/.globus/scratch didn't work, although the  
directory existed. But when I set it to 'tmp' under GLOBUS_LOCATION,  
it worked just fine.

The created directory will be cleaned up automatically.
