RE: [Condor-users] Condor on Windows 2003 Server

["Andrey Kaliazin" <A.Kaliazin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

We have a pool of about 200 PCs running Windows XP and all our config files
are
in UNIX style (no CRLF for line ending, but just CR or LF - can never
remember which one is it)
to keep them compatible with Linux boxes, but also because I edit them in vi
under cygwin.

I had those seemingly mysterious problems with Condor some time ago but they
disappear when you force convert file format (dos2unix). It looks like some
windows editors
like notepad do some time leave text files in a mixed format if the file was
originally saved
in UNIX style. So you end up with the file where some lines are CRLF-ended
and some are
just LF-ended. Condor does not handle those properly. That could have been
the reason 
for your troubles.

cheers,

Andrey Kaliazin
