Re: [Condor-users] Writing to HKEY_CURRENT_USERwhen running jobson Windows

["Thompson, Cooper" <cooper.thompson@xxxxxxxx>]

Has the ability to load a user profile made it into a Condor release
yet?  I haven't found anything in the Release Notes so I suspect the
feature is not released yet.

Did you have any luck finding a solution using expect, or some other
approach?  We may be looking for a solution to the same problem, and any
info you can share would be useful.

Thanks! And great that it's a per-job attribute instead of a per-machine
attribute.

I'll take a look at expect. We might be able to work around the problem
with this approach. When I get a solution in place I'll reply to the
list with the final approach I ended up taking.
