Re: [Condor-users] Changing Execute dir for window's Condor

["John (TJ) Knoeller" <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What value do you get back from
condor_config_val -v EXECUTE

do you have an environment variable override for EXECUTE?  i.e. does running
set _condor
return anything other than "Environment variable _condor not defined" ?

Did you try restarting condor?  If condor is running as a service, then
condor_off -master
to stop condor, then
net start condor
to start it back up again.

according to the docs, a reconfig is required, but a restart is not, but 
it would be helpful to know if
a restart caused condor it to pick up the change or not.
