Re: [HTCondor-users] config.d vs condor_config.local

[Philip Papadopoulos <philip.papadopoulos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Don't know if it is stable, but I would move to just using a config.d configuration. Seems like a more robust way to approach this.

I personally like the move to the config.d structure. It makes Condor configuration much more modular. You get to choose if a local config is "before" or "after", since the files are processed in lexigraphic order.ÂÂ 00local being the "first" zzlocal being "last"

my $0.02

Hi all,

quick question: the manual
(http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/manual/v8.2/3_2Installation_Start.html#9997
- 3.2.2 - 7 - configuration files) says

"Next, HTCondor tries to load the local configuration file(s). The only
way to specify the local configuration file(s) is in the global
configuration file, with the LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE macro. If that macro is
not set, no local configuration file is used. This macro can be a list
of files or a single file.

If configured, HTCondor also uses the LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR setting get a
directory where a list of configuration files is held. The files are
searched for configuration settings."

condor_config_val -dump says

"Contributing configuration file(s):
# Â Â Â /etc/condor/condor_config
# Â Â Â /etc/condor/config.d/10_config.wrk
# Â Â Â /etc/condor/config.d/20_config.cron
# Â Â Â /etc/condor/condor_config.local"

The order implied by the manual is
 /etc/condor/condor_config.local
 /etc/condor/config.d/*

The order reported by condor_config_val is
 /etc/condor/config.d/*
 /etc/condor/condor_config.local

So which is it? And is it stable or is it gonna change with the next
update? I'd like to know who would override who.

TIA
