Re: [HTCondor-users] startd_cron argument formatting

[John M Knoeller <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

the ARGS for a STARTD_CRON are parsed in the same was as ARGS are in a submit file, so starting args with a double quote
will cause it to preserve spaces, and to convert each "" into a single " 

condor_config_val doesn't understand that, it will just show what is in the config file, but condor_config_val doesn't parse anything, the parsing happens in the code that constructs the system call to run the cron job, and that code uses the same library to parse the args that condor_submit does.

Subject: [HTCondor-users] startd_cron argument formatting

Hi folks,

I'm trying to set up a OneShot/Reconfig_Rerun startd_cron job like this:

$ usr/bin/python -c 'import pkgutil; print("HasTensorFlow = True" if pkgutil.find_loader("tensorflow") else "")'
HasTensorFlow = True
$

I thought I had figured out how to persuade the configuration parser to clump space-separated values, as the single quotes will do above in the shell, but I seem to have misplaced my notes. In the submit description you can do something like this:

ARGS = " 'spacey ""quoted"" value' "

To come up with:

ARGS = spacey "quoted" value

But that doesn't seem to work the same way in the configuration files, since condor_config_val just gives me the literal text.

Is there any way to do this without creating a wrapper script?
