[Condor-users] output and input files

[Dave STREET <davey_street@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a program the I want to run on condor for a user. 

but it has the following inbuilt file structure

/executable

/dependency1

/dependency2

/input/file1

/input/file2

/output/file1

/output/file2

my question has 2 parts

first this is on a shared file system so I don't want to really have to transfer input files. 

can I use the following submit file? well should I be able to ?

initialdir = /

executable = executable

transfer = no

But my second and main question is how do I get the output files back? 

If I set the job to run once, I can using the local file system get it to out put to the /output/file1,2 whichs is cool

but if I run the job twice it will over write the first output. 

What i really want is to use the condor submit file to somehow copy the output files back in to 

/output1/...

/output2/...

etc

so use shared file system for the input files, and then set the initialdir = output$(process)/ and get condor to copy any changed files back to here. 

but it seems if I do this for the output it mucks up the input, and if set the input right it mucks up the output!! 

is there a way to do this ? 

Cheers
