Re: [Condor-users] RunAsOwner on linux

[Dan Bradley <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The reason you have to use a + sign to set the RunAsOwner attribute is 
that the condor submit command RunAsOwner (or run_as_owner) is only 
currently recognized under Windows.  This was an oversight.  For 7.4, I 
have made a fix so that RunAsOwner is recognized as a valid command 
under unix as well.  In the mean time, using +RunAsOwner=false will 
directly set the appropriate attribute in the job ClassAd.

We would sometimes like to run the "local" jobs as a dedicated condor execute user, because this reduces load on the server hosting ordinary user profiles.
