Dear Condor users,
When using the Condor file transfer mechanism, is there
perhaps a way to transfer the directory structure (and the files
as well, of course)?
Something akin perhaps to "--relative" switch of rsync?
I am planning to use Condor to run multiple NAMD MD
simulations. There are a lot of input files for the simulations,
which I have structured in many directories. (an example layout
is attached to the end of the message).
Since Condor transfers all the files to the top execute
directory I have to rename and edit a lot of scripts (and change
all the analysis scripts as well..).
Perhaps the easiest way is to just zip the whole directory
structure, then specify the zip file as the input and write a
wrapper that unzips the file with the directory structure
intact, runs the simulation and at the end zips the right output
directories.
But if I'm missing an (undocumented) switch somewhere, or if
there is a better way to do this, then I'd really like to know.
