[Condor-users] DelayedAutostart RE: .master_address on Windows 7 ( 7.5.6)

[<Greg.Hitchen@xxxxxxxx>]

For roll your own installs like ours we need to add the DelayedAutostart
item to the Condor service in an automatic way (i.e. other than manually
using the gui interface).

We normally create the service manually ourselves anyway using:

sc create Condor_test binpath= "%PROGRAMFILES%\condor\bin\condor_master.exe" start= auto depend= dhcp

For the DelayedAutostart we need

sc create Condor_test binpath= "%PROGRAMFILES%\condor\bin\condor_master.exe" start= delayed-auto depend= dhcp

This works fine for Win7 but not for XP as XP knows nothing about this
new delayed autostart option. However, all it does is add an extra registry item
to the entry for the Condor service:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Condor
DelayedAutostart REG_DWORD 0x00000001

So we can add this manually (on Win7 or XP machines) using either regedit
to merge in a file, e.g.

regedit /s delayedautostart.reg

where delayedautostart.red contains:

_________________________________________________________________
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Condor]
"DelayedAutostart"=dword:00000001
__________________________________________________________________


Or the other way is to use reg.exe to write the value directly, e.g.

reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Condor" /v DelayedAutostart /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Once in the registry this does not cause problems on XP even though
it doesn't know/care about this parameter.

Hopefully this might be of use to others dealing with mixtures of
Windows OS'es.

Cheers

Greg

We have always (for the past few years) configured the condor service
as "depends on dhcp" but have recently started having the same issue
as discussed below with Win7 and 7.6.1 

Cheers

It is now:

I'll make sure it gets into 7.6.3.

Cheers,
