Re: [Condor-users] NFS automounter question

["David A. Kotz" <dkotz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If your automounter is behaving correctly, and if your home directory is 
mounted at the same mountpoint on all machines in your Condor pool, all 
you have to do is submit the job from your home directory and Condor 
will take care of the rest.  Condor will assume that the working 
directory is your home diretory, and the automounter will mount it on 
whatever machine runs the job.  This is the way that most of my users 
submit their jobs.  You don't need to manually set initialdir.
