[Condor-users] Executable path and environment

[Ian Stokes-Rees <ijstokes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the common technique for creating a classad for a job where the executable location is not known by the submitter, but by prior arrangement the executable is known to be on the worker node in the default path of the user which runs the Condor daemon?

One way would be to do something like:

executable = $ENV(HOME)/bin/generic-launcher
arguments = appname arg1 arg2 arg3 ...

however $ENV(.) resolves the *submitters* environment, rather than the execution nodes environment, and I'm assuming that globbing doesn't take place, so

executable = ~/bin/generic-launcher

wouldn't work.

Cheers,

Ian
