Re: [Condor-users] about multiple scheduler issues

["Carson Hung" <carson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Erik,

Thanks very much for your clear explanation.

You are right, I am actually asking if it is possible to have more than
one negotiators with multiple schedulers. Since I think that case is
possible to exist in condor-g environment.

and I think you have answered my questions. Really thanks a lot.

Thanks,
Carson


I have more understanding about the condor and condor-g
