[Condor-users] ERROR "unable to spawn the ProcD"

[Mark Tigges <mtigges@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey there,

I'm trying to set condor 7.0.5 up remotely at a remote studio.  I've
almost got it working.  Unfortunately, when I submit a job, the
machine that it's scheduled to fails.

Here's the relevant bit of the start log on that machine:

So, when I do some googling, I find this link:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.2/7_4Condor_on.html#SECTION008415000000000000000

Hopeful, I went in to the registry, unfortunatly there are no "Disable
Performance Counter" name value pairs anywhere in the entire registry.

Is there any other cause for this kind of problem?  The executable in
the submission is just a simple batch file.  There doesn't seem to be
any permission problem.  I'm really stymied.  Any insight from the
experts would be helpful.

Mark.
