Re: [HTCondor-users] Python API

[Larry Martell <larry.martell@xxxxxxxxx>]

I want to use the API to start jobs and DAGs - don't I have to
interact with the collectorfor that, e.g.:

    coll = htcondor.Collector('bach')
    schedd_ad = coll.locate(htcondor.DaemonTypes.Schedd)
    schedd = htcondor.Schedd(schedd_ad)
    ad = classad.ClassAd()
       .
       .
       .
    id = schedd.submit(ad)

Can I do this from a remote machine? If not, the API is not that useful.
