Re: [HTCondor-users] purpose of SHADOW_WORKLIFE option

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

There is no good reason for it to be anything other than forever.
I suspect that the value was set to be conservative when the feature of 
shadow re-use was first added.
We will be changing the default for SHADOW_WORKLIFE to something more 
reasonable for the next development release.
