Re: [Condor-devel] RFC: automatic creation of spool directories

I've been instantiating central manager nodes with multiple schedulers,

Is anybody aware of a particular reason (security?) the scheduler can't
automatically create the spool directory when it doesn't exist?
It looks like at least under one condition this will happen, DaemonCore takes a -d (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.6/3_9DaemonCore.html and DynamicDirs in src/condor_daemon_core.V6/daemon_core_main.cpp).
No good reason comes to mind that would keep you from always creating SPOOL, especially when the Schedd starts. 

Best,
