     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.
     

5. Edit /Users/condor/.profile to set CONDOR_CONFIG to /opt/condor-6.8.8/etc/condor_config
6. 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
   

9. 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
