Re: [Condor-users] dagman single quote error

["Frédéric Bastien" <nouiz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the information and creating the problem repport.

I need the ' symbol for a special case that will probably never happen
in the submit script we use in our lab to launch jobs with dagman. I
only need dagman to limit the number of concurrent jobs for a cluster
of jobs. That is more important for our lab then the ' trouble, but I
think you already know that many people would like this feature.

Thanks for all the good work.
