Re: [Condor-users] lightweight cluster/grid engine

[Tim Kremer <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Erik,

I've had success launching jobs from within a job using condor's web services (soap) interface.

Since i prefer SOA architectures, i do most integration with condor via soap where possible (admittedly the soap interface has limitations)


Hope that helps.
