[Condor-users] Condor Startup Issue on Windows

[Willem Hough <houghwj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I experience problems starting Condor on some Windows XP and Windows 7 machines. Shown below is part of my MasterLog file when the problem occurs.

 

Condor is started via a Windows automatic start service. My suspicion is the Condor service is started before the Windows networking has initialised properly (DaemonCore: Command Socket at 169.254.237.49 is incorrect and the inability to ping the server address segcondor.kentron.co.za).

 

I also notice the Condor Service has no startup dependencies associated with it (TCP/IP, DNS, etc).

 

Can anyone confirm my suspicion? On Windows 7 there is a work-around to this problem by using the "Automatic (Delayed Start)" way of starting a process.

 

Regards
