Re: [HTCondor-users] submit dagman: Can't open "/var/log/condor/DAGMANLog" ?

[Nathan Panike <nwp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Normally you run DAGMan by running

condor_submit_dag dagman.submit.

If you are going to run it from the command line, a suitable invocation
is something like

condor_dagman -f -l . -Lockfile 3650.dag.lock -AutoRescue 1 \
-DoRescueFrom 0 -Dag dagman.submit -CsdVersion '$CondorVersion: 7.8.8 \
Mar 20 2013 BuildID: 110288 $' -Dagman /unsup/condor/bin/condor_dagman"

In particular the "-l ." flag will keep DAGMan from writing to
/var/log/condor.
