Re: [Condor-users] setting up condor pool

["Pervez, Salman" <Salman.Pervez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, this will probably do what I need it to do. But it does not seem to be working for me. I created this very simple perl script

#!/usr/bin/env perl
print "filenames = \"3\"\n";

It has execute permissions so no issues there. I then add this to my global condor config file.

STARTD_CRON_NAME = CRON
CRON_JOBLIST =

CRON_JOBLIST = $(CRON_JOBLIST) add_filenames
CRON_kernel_PREFIX = add_filenames_
CRON_kernel_EXECUTABLE = $(HOME)/condor.$(HOSTNAME)/local/add_filenames
CRON_kernel_PERIOD = 1h
CRON_kernel_MODE = periodic
CRON_kernel_RECONFIG = false
CRON_kernel_KILL = true
CRON_kernel_ARGS =

I then to a condor_restart followed by a condor_reconfig, just to be safe. At this point I believe I have two ways of finding out whether or not this worked. I could do a 'condor_status -long' or a 'condor_config_val add_filenames_filenames'. Neither of which, unfortunately, works.

On the other hand, if I hardcode the value of 'filenames' in my local condor config files, the result is slightly different. I am still not able to get a classad attribute 'filenames' if I query condor_status. But I am able to see one if I execute 'condor_config_val filenames'. Hence my confusion. And I really do appreciate the help. Thanks!

All the possible ways are covered in the Condor Manual, but I realize
the Manual, albeit reasonably complete, is not a quick read...

Did you take a peek at the quick configuration HOWTOs at

   https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/wiki?p=HowToAdminRecipes

Specifically, the one listed there titled "How to insert custom ClassAd
attributes into a machine ad" may be helpful to you:
