Hi John, As far as I can tell, the only difference in env is the PATH, which is a bit annoying. For all jobs, I am setting "runasowner"; I see this env difference between machines even when I'm logged into both of them; I've been diffing my condor_config files amoung machines, but they are now identical on machines that still have different env. Basically, the jobs I'm submitting are all just running Windows "set", as you say, so that I can get info like running machine name and other variables. We do have a very restrictive security policy here, so I suppose that may be suspect. On a slightly different point, is there any chance that I can specify a variable that I want to be pulled from the running machine? Some jobs that I run actually use the filesystem on the execute machine, and I need to specify the location of certain files. I'm in a situation now where these files are on C: on one machine, and on D: on the other. If I could read a variable on the execute machine, that would make life much simpler! Thanks, Richard.

In my pool, I see different behavior on different machines, and I cannot determine why. On some machines, the job picks up the path from the execute machine, but on other machines it does not pick up the path. Any ideas? ...I have only ever seen minimal environments on the machines I have run jobs. I can only think of the following: * Job runs as you rather than as user nobody: o Maybe differing UID_DOMAIN or FILESYSTEM_DOMAIN settings on the machines that you get a minimal or a normal env set o Or maybe different security policies on the two machines * Or maybe the jobs with a richer env set actually run on the submitting machine and hence can run as you To check any of the above, just send a simple shellscript checking hostname / pwd / env / id and see if you can see a pattern. Sorry I haven't any other ideas why you would sometimes get a useful env Cheers JK _______________________________________________ Condor-users mailing list To unsubscribe, send a message to condor-users-request@xxxxxxxxxxx with a subject: Unsubscribe You can also unsubscribe by visiting https://lists.cs.wisc.edu/mailman/listinfo/condor-users The archives can be found at: https://lists.cs.wisc.edu/archive/condor-users/ |
