Re: [Condor-users] The /var/lib/condor/execute folder 1, 000, 000 question? :-)

[Sassy Natan <sassyn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, the initialdir doesn't make the process run in specified directory but it does create the log files in it.

what i'm interesting is to send a job to the q, and have it run in my local home directory, where I was when submitting the job. so it is like i run the command locally without using condor.

so for example if i use gcc, the command with condor will run in the ~ home, and not in /var/lib/condor/execute/%jobid% folder. 

I saw there is a remote_initialdir option and CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR option, but i'm not sure this will help me.

Check the condor_submit manual page for initialdir.

Thank,

But still, changing the path is easy. I would like it to be
a dynamic path, pointing to the working directory the user submitted the
job from. Which in my case is always happening inside the user home
directory.

This /home is NFS volume on a local filers, running CephFS as there FS
(under RDBD volume).

The SLOT<N>_EXECUTE is also not wise, what if i use over and over the
same slot no 4? no other slot are being used?

   The EXECUTE (or SLOT<N>_EXECUTE) configuration variable can control the
   directory jobs execute in:
