Re: [Condor-users] Console Logins

[Jim Summers <jsummers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the pointers.

I am using a default config and all of the Vars seem to be defined as they 
came from UWCS.

I do wonder if I need to define the IsDesktop = True , and then fix the 
profile as mentioned.  That is from:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.8/3_6Startd_Policy.html#SECTION004610400000000000000

Here is a recurring message from the StartLog:

10/11 21:29:11 Unable to calculate keyboard/mouse idle time due to them both 
being USB or not present, assuming infinite idle time for these devices.

The infinite idle time has me concerned.

Ideas / suggestions?

TIA
