Re: [HTCondor-users] odd behavior of condor_qedit

I believe that I have found the solution to this in JobRouter context.
Use EVALSET, not SET !

i.e.

I should not use:
SET DESIRED_SITES=strcat(DESIRED_SITES,",T2_US_MIT")
which replaces the DESIRED_SITES ad with a recursive expression,

but:
EVALSET DESIRED_SITES=strcat(DESIRED_SITES,",T2_US_MIT")
which evaluates the RHS to a string using current value of the ad
and then sets the ad to the new string

Thanks for your suggestions and patience !
