Re: [HTCondor-users] Condor 8.4.3 on Windows 7 with Unattended Installation Procedure: Error with condor_urlfetch?

[John M Knoeller <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Iâll file a bug on this.  But this is purely cosmetic.  The config file reader only looks at newlines.  It doesnât care about carriage returns and discards them if they exist.

Thank you. This is indeed a nice new feature in the config file.

 

On the Windows PC with the unattended install, I noticed a glitch; the bar "|" is immediately followed (on the very same line) by the next line:

 

"...$(LOCAL_DIR)\condor_config.url_cache |##  If your configuration..."

 

All other line beginnings in the config file start nicely on new lines.

 

I guess there is a problem with the DOS anomaly  "newline" vs. "newline + carriage return" when this particular line was generated.

 

Does somebody want to fix this non-critical glitch?

 

Regards,

R.

The | at the end tells HTCondor that this is a command to run rather than a list of files to open.

Hi,

 

I use the Unattended installation procedure for Windows 7, as follows:

 

set ARGS=

set ARGS=NEWPOOL="N"

set ARGS=%ARGS% POOLNAME="Library"

set ARGS=%ARGS% RUNJOBS="C"

set ARGS=%ARGS% VACATEJOBS="Y"

set ARGS=%ARGS% SUBMITJOBS="N"

set ARGS=%ARGS% CONDOREMAIL=""

set ARGS=%ARGS% SMTPSERVER=""

set ARGS=%ARGS% HOSTALLOWREAD="25.245.0.0/16"

set ARGS=%ARGS% HOSTALLOWWRITE="25.245.0.0/16"

set ARGS=%ARGS% HOSTALLOWADMINISTRATOR="condor.mynet.edu"

set ARGS=%ARGS% INSTALLDIR="C:\condor"

set ARGS=%ARGS% POOLHOSTNAME="condor.mynet.edu"

set ARGS=%ARGS% ACCOUNTINGDOMAIN="none"

set ARGS=%ARGS% JVMLOCATION="java.exe"

set ARGS=%ARGS% USEVMUNIVERSE="N"

set ARGS=%ARGS% VMMEMORY=""

set ARGS=%ARGS% VMMAXNUMBER="$(NUM_CPUS)"

set ARGS=%ARGS% VMNETWORKING="N"

set ARGS=%ARGS% USEHDFS="N"

set ARGS=%ARGS% NAMENODE=""

set ARGS=%ARGS% HDFSMODE=""

set ARGS=%ARGS% HDFSPORT=""

set ARGS=%ARGS% HDFSWEBPORT=""

set ARGS=%ARGS% LOCALCONFIG="http://condor.mynet.edu/condor_config.local"

 

msiexec /qn /norestart /l*v condor-install-log.txt /i condor-8.4.3-352143-Windows-x86.msi %ARGS%

 

 

When I then check the created condor_config file, it contains the following line for the LOCALCONFIG setting:

 

 

LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE = condor_urlfetch -$(SUBSYSTEM) http://condor.mynet.edu/condor_config.local $(LOCAL_DIR)\condor_config.url_ca

che |

 

 

Is this correct?

Notice the bar "|" at the end of the line.

Should that be there, or will that cripple LOCALCONFIG settings?

 

Thank you.

Rob.
