Re: [Condor-users] Error evaluating rank

["Bryan K. Wright" <bryan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

	The answer was a missing pair of parentheses. I had expressions
like:

OWNERBOOST = Owner == "user1" || Owner == "user2"
RANK = 10*( 2*OWNERBOOST - 1 ) - LoadAvg + 20

but it really should have been:

OWNERBOOST = (Owner == "user1" || Owner == "user2")
RANK = 10*( 2*OWNERBOOST - 1 ) - LoadAvg + 20

As Alan De Smet pointed out in "Administrating Condor", if you have
expresions like:

	TEN = 5+5
	HUNDRED = $(TEN)*$(TEN)

then the value of HUNDRED will be 5+5*5+5 or 35.  To get it to be 100,
you need parentheses around the (5+5).
