[Condor-users] DOS executables fail to work under Condor

["Dr Ian C. Smith" <i.c.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been looking at running jobs under Win XP
and found that when I run some DOS executables
they fail silently whereas others are fine.
For example:

c:\winnt\system32\ipconfig

is OK but

c:\winnt\system32\find /?

seems do nothing (no stdout or stderr).I've tried
configuring Condor to run jobs under my account rather
than the default (condor-reuse-vm1) but I still get
the same result.

Any ideas why this might be happening ?

cheers,

-ian.
