Re: [Condor-users] Running programs that are already installed on allmachines in the pool

["Kewley, J \(John\)" <j.kewley@xxxxxxxx>]

Note that cygwin will need to be installed for "all users".

I assume this is true in your case, but worth mentioning since I lost
a lot of hair trying to work out why things were working on some of our
windows machines and not on others.

You might want to use "/bin/bash -l" to get a login shell, that way more of the
usual things will be setup for the user (like PATH for instance)

If I remember it correctly, something like the following should work OK:
* Tell condor_submit NOT to transfer executable
* executable=/bin/bash
* arguments="-l -c <put your script in here with its parameters>"

You might have trouble passing ">" and "<" as parameters and extra care will
be needed if you need embedded quotes

Cheers
