[Condor-users] Client-only condor pool, no collector

[Steven Timm <timm@xxxxxxxx>]

I am making a node that is going to only submit to the grid, which
means that in theory one should only need a MASTER and a SCHEDD,
no NEGOTIATOR or COLLECTOR necessary.  A while ago someone mentioned
that there is some variable that needs to be set to say that there
is no collector, otherwise you get errors like this:

Extra Info: the condor_collector is a process that runs on the central
manager of your Condor pool and collects the status of all the machines 
and
jobs in the Condor pool. The condor_collector might not be running, it 
might
be refusing to communicate with you, there might be a network problem, or
there may be some other problem. Check with your system administrator to 
fix
this problem.

If you are the system administrator, check that the condor_collector is
running on snowball.fnal.gov, check the HOSTALLOW configuration in your
condor_config, and check the MasterLog and CollectorLog files in your log
directory for possible clues as to why the condor_collector is not
responding. Also see the Troubleshooting section of the manual


-------------

what is the name of the variable that needs to be set to null?
CONDOR_HOST? COLLECTOR_HOST? or something else?
