Re: [HTCondor-users] How to change Condor's spool, execute, etc. directories?

[Matthew Farrellee <matt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In this case the condor user's home directory is /var/lib/condor and the 
special $(TILDE) = /var/lib/condor. LOCAL_DIR is set to $(TILDE) and is 
used to construct SPOOL and EXECUTE. This all happens in 
/etc/condor/condor_config.

Best,
