Re: [HTCondor-users] Singularity containers setting --pwd option to scratch dir

[Mary Hester <maryh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Greg,

The file transfer parameters were set correctly. It looks like the 
SINGULARITY_TARGET_DIR needed to be set to /srv--but why is /srv the 
convention for setting the working directory? Is this a singularity 
convention or a condor thing? If so, would it be worth setting this as a 
default?

Thanks,
Mary
