Re: [HTCondor-users] Difference between condor_config and condor_config.local

[John M Knoeller <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

condor_config is the root configuration file for HTCondor daemons and for tools.

If you read it you will see that it refers to condor_config.local,

 

LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE = $(LOCAL_DIR)\condor_config.local

 

The statement above causes condor_config.local to be included in the HTCondor configuration.

 

You should change the HTCondor configuration of your Windows by editing either of these

files, but we recommend that you leave condor_config alone, and edit condor_config.local

when you want to change the HTCondor configuration.

 

HTCondor will also read configuration files from a directory called \Condor\config because of this line:

 

LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR = $(LOCAL_DIR)\config

 

But the HTCondor installer does not create this directory, you will have to create it yourself if you want to use a config directory.

Dear HTCondor users,

 

   Installing HTCondor in a windows machine, a folder named "condor" in the root directory is created. In that folder, there are two files name "condor_config" the first and "condor_config.local" the second.  I would like to ask what is the difference between them? 

 

  Thank you a lot in a advance,

 

Nikos
