	Note that both of these suggestions assume that the command is 
being run in a shell, which the example was not.  You'd have to do 
something like

executable		= /bin/bash
arguments		= -c 'echo `hostname`'
output 			= the_remote_hostname
transfer_executable	= false

instead.

	I'm guessing your "hands-on" was about learning the submit 
language, but if it wasn't, you may want to take a look at condor_run.
