Title: Help with condor_mail.exe on Windows

Hi,

I am trying to get the ‘condor_mail’ executable send a confirmation email to users at the end of a job (mainly because there is no way of customizing the default email sent by Condor, and I want to be able to put specific info for each job/user).

So far, I wasn’t able to successfully run the binary. It does not come with command-line help, and the manual does not contain any info on it. Google did not help either. A few attempts to mimic the ‘mail’ UNIX command failed miserably ;-) [Yup, the machines are all running Windows…]

The other options I have left is 1) Run a Python one liner, at the end of the job but that would mean installing Python on every machine on which Condor runs, or 2) write a tiny standalone exe that will have to be present on each machine. Using the condor_mail.exe is by far the best option since it is _already_ present by default on each machine…

Any help on the correct syntax to get condor_mail work under Windows would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Youcef Rahal.
