Re: [Condor-users] Submit job from the UW Madison CS lab computers

["Peter F. Couvares" <pfc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kevin,

We normally run Condor schedds only on UW-CS servers or personal  
workstations, not public workstations.  This is in part because  
schedds require a higher level of reliability; if someone turned off  
a public lab machine, any jobs managed by that schedd would be stuck  
until the machine was rebooted.

Although remote submission like you describe is possible, I'd  
recommend directly logging in to a machine with a local schedd and  
submitting jobs there instead, as it's a bit easier to manage.

If you don't have access to any such machines in the department,  
email condor-admin@xxxxxxxxxxx and we'll gladly hook you up with an  
account on one.

Thanks,

-Peter
