    Hi Javier,
    
    I believe what you want to do is set SCHEDD_HOST config knob in the
    condor_config file(s) on your machines.  For instance, if your
    config has
    
        SCHEDD_HOST = submit05.foo.edu
    
    Then whenever users enter "condor_q", "condor_rm", "condor_submit",
    etc, it will default to using the schedd at "submit05.foo.edu", just
    as if you had used the "-name" argument.  This also works with the
    Python API (bindings) as expected.
    
    Also you may find the below HOWTO of interest:

    Hope the above helps.
    
    regards,
    Todd
