         or string at ./condor_configure line 932.

         Condor has been installed into:
            /opt/condor-6.8.8

         In order for Condor to work properly you must set your
         CONDOR_CONFIG environment variable to point to your
         Condor configuration file:
            /opt/condor-6.8.8/etc/condor_config
         before running Condor commands/daemons.
6. Edit /Users/condor/.profile to set CONDOR_CONFIG to /opt/condor-6.8.8/etc/condor_config Create `/opt/condor-6.8.8/sbin/condor_start.sh` with the following content:
       CONDOR_ROOT=/opt/condor-6.8.8
       export PATH=$PATH:$CONDOR_ROOT/sbin:$CONDOR_ROOT/bin
       export CONDOR_CONFIG=/opt/condor-6.8.8/etc/condor_config
       $CONDOR_ROOT/sbin/condor_master
7. Create `/opt/condor-6.8.8/sbin/condor_start.sh` with the following content:
       CONDOR_ROOT=/opt/condor-6.8.8
       export PATH=$PATH:$CONDOR_ROOT/sbin:$CONDOR_ROOT/bin
       export CONDOR_CONFIG=/opt/condor-6.8.8/etc/condor_config
       $CONDOR_ROOT/sbin/condor_off -master
8. Edit crontab as user using "sudo crontab -e", then add the following:
       @reboot sleep 100 && /usr/local/condor/sbin/condor_start.sh
Edit the /Users/condor/Applications/condor-6.8.8/condor_config.local file: Change DAEMON_LIST to include only MASTER, STARTD Change CONDOR_IDS to be same uid of condor user 503.20 Change CONDOR_ADMIN to be dcline@mbari.org Change LOCAL_DIR = /Users/condor/Applications/condor-6.8.8 Reboot to start condor daemon Attachments: org_mbari_eits_Condor.png (image/png)
