Re: [HTCondor-users] Can I use HTCondor out of a HTCondor pool

[åäç <zuowzhang@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your reply.

Using -pool and -remote is really a valid and intuitive way, however, there are still some preconditions:

- As you mentioned, the security policies on node A should be adjusted.
- More important, I need to install HTCondor on node E, so that I could use âcondor_submit'

Is there any service integrated in HTCondo I can use, so that I just need to submit some necessary information about a job, for example, from a non-HTCondor node E to HTCondor node A?
After receive the information, node A will create a job and submit it to the HTCondor pool.

In fact, I care more about the performance of the HTCondor pool during the running time than the result of a job.
But I need to guarantee that anyone who connect the non-HTCondor node E can do some experiment on the HTCondor pool, rather than connect a HTCondor node directly.

Thanks for your help
