Re: [HTCondor-users] Fwd: How to get node variable on job?

Hi Todd,

Absolutely solves the problem.

Spent all morning reading/searching and trying to tackle the issue until I wrote to the list.

You saved me countless hours of digging through the manual.

Many thanks!

I've set up a DATA_PATH value on all my nodes.

DATA_PATH varies from node to node

box1 => DATA_PATH=/home/user1/data

box2 => DATA_PATH=c:\Users\User1\testing\data

etc...

I can query the DATA_PATH variable correctly using `condor_config_val DATA_PATH` but I'm having some trouble getting it into the running script.

universe = vanilla
executable = my_script.sh
arguments = $(DATA_PATH)

Shouldn't this work?

Any suggestions or alternatives?

I'd suggest adding the DATA_PATH as a machine attribute; an example of how to do this is here:

Hope this helps,
