Re: [Condor-users] Matlab Distributed Computing Engine and Condor

[Bill Taylor <bt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ismael,

I has thought Dagman's main limitation on windows was that it is 
currently limited
to either batch or windows executables making it harder to have pre and 
post scripts.
However since I set up most of the tests we do nightly perhaps I should 
immediately
test if there are limits to using Dagman on windows..........

I'll get back to you soon.
