[HTCondor-users] Working directory when running a Condor job with Singularity

[Alec Sheperd <alec.sheperd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I've been trying to get Singularity working via Condor, and I've gotten 
the basics of it working, but I'm having a few issues with how 
$_CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR behaves.

Normally a running jobs working directory is placed in our environment 
under /scratch/condor. When running a Singularity container I have 
SINGULARITY_TARGET_DIR = /srv. So I was expecting that the working 
directory of the job would be in /srv, but it turns out that the working 
directory is in /home.

This makes sense on second thought, when you start up a Singularity 
container it places you in the home directory. I know there are ways to 
change this behavior so that the initial directory will be in /srv in 
side the container, but I'm not sure how to do this through mechanisms 
provided in Condor. Is this something that can be done?
