Re: [Condor-users] Submitting a DAGMan job from a windows submitter to a linux scheduler

[Horvátth Szabolcs <szabolcs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've made some progress: by using the -disable flag of the condor_submit command the log file check can be turned off. But I still have the problem of specifying a proper condor_dagman executable.
I tried overriding the executable both in the submit file and using the -dagman flag of condor_submit_dag, but when I try to submit the .sub file from windows I get an error:
ERROR: Executable file /opt/condor/bin/condor_dagman does not exist
I'm not sure why the windows workstation checks the existence of an executable when its supposed to run on a remote machine. And how to turn this off since the -disable flag does not affect this.

Cheers,
Szabolcs
