Matt:
request_* in a submit file turns into Request* attributes on a job ad. You can use SUBMIT_EXPRS to set a default if you like. In condor_config.local: RequestMemory = 123 SUBMIT_EXPRS = RequestMemory And all your jobs will start with RequestMemory = 123, unless request_memory is specified in a submit file.
This worked exactly as expected. Many thanks, Bob -- Earl (Bob) Kinney Manager of Research Computing Harvard-MIT Data Center
