[Condor-users] condor_submit -name option

[<Greg.Hitchen@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

 

We've been playing with submission of jobs to a remote schedd. This is windows to windows.

 

Works fine if using the -remote option which spools across the data to the remote machine.

Can take a long, long time if submitting thousands of jobs though.

 

Thought we'd try the -name option instead, which does not spool the data across.

On the remote schedd a condor_q shows the jobs on hold with the reason being

"cannot access initial working directory", and the shadow log shows:

The initial working directory is the local path on the original submitting PC, and obviously

does not exist on the remote schedd. No wonder it can't find it.

 

What am I not understanding? Can someone please help/explain?

 

Thanks.

 

Cheers

P.S. I like the Confuscious-like saying in the log file! :)
