Re: [HTCondor-users] Extra quotes in ClassAd attribute name

[Jaime Frey <jfrey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In current versions of HTCondor, this is the proper thing to put in your submit file:

request_cpus = 1
batch_queue = batch
want_io_proxy = true

But you can't mechanically translate these into attributes in a ClassAd or back into submit file commands.
