Re: [Condor-users] Manually changing startd classad

[Robert Rati <rrati@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you're just editing the classad that has been advertised to the 
collector, as it sounds like you are, then any edits you make would be 
temporary and will be overwritten the next time the daemon updates it's 
daemon ad with the collector.  The collector is just keeping track of 
what it is told by the daemons and expects the ads from the daemons 
themselves to the authoritative source.

You might want to look at using "condor_config_val -rset" to set a param 
of a running condor daemon.  This would allow you to change the param 
value in a daemon running, but would not alter the param value in the 
config file.

You'll need to do a reconfig of the daemon after you run 
condor_config_val for the change to take effect.
