Mark, 

Thank you. Your suggestion seems to
be working for me.

I should warn you that I am very much a novice as far as condor is concerned
but I can confirm that setting these macros did achieve what you are trying
to do (these are Linux machines BTW):-

SLOTS_CONNECTED_TO_CONSOLE = $(DETECTED_CORES)
SLOTS_CONNECTED_TO_KEYBOARD = $(DETECTED_CORES)

Theres's a very useful command, condor_config_val, which shows how macros
are currently defined on a machine, e.g.

condor_config_val DETECTED_CORES

'condor_config_val -dump' will show everything.
