      Installing Condor from /Users/sherman/Applications/condor-7.4.2 to /opt/condor-7.4.2
     
     Condor has been installed into:
         /opt/condor-7.4.2
     
     Configured condor using these configuration files:
       global: /opt/condor-7.4.2/etc/condor_config
       local:  /opt/condor-7.4.2/local.somniosus/condor_config.local
     
     In order for Condor to work properly you must set your CONDOR_CONFIG
     environment variable to point to your Condor configuration file:
     /opt/condor-7.4.2/etc/condor_config before running Condor commands/daemons.
     Created scripts which can be sourced by users to setup their
     Condor environment variables.  These are:
        sh: /opt/condo!Lingon.png|thumbnail!r-7.4.2/condor.sh
       csh: /opt/condor-7.4.2/condor.csh
     

5. Copy the generated environment variables to your ~/.profile

   sudo cat /opt/condor-7.4.2/condor.sh >> ~/.profile
   

6. Replace the local condor config file with EITS experiment settings in this condor_config.local

   sudo cp condor_config.local /opt/condor-7.4.2/local.somniosus/condor_config.local
   

7. Create /opt/condor-7.4.2/sbin/condor_start.sh with the following content:

   CONDOR_ROOT=/opt/condor-7.4.2
   export PATH=$PATH:$CONDOR_ROOT/sbin:$CONDOR_ROOT/bin
   export CONDOR_CONFIG=$CONDOR_ROOT/etc/condor_config
   $CONDOR_ROOT/sbin/condor_master
   

8. Create /opt/condor-7.4.2/sbin/condor_start.sh with the following content:

   CONDOR_ROOT=/opt/condor-7.4.2
   export PATH=$PATH:$CONDOR_ROOT/sbin:$CONDOR_ROOT/bin
   export CONDOR_CONFIG=$CONDOR_ROOT/etc/condor_config
   $CONDOR_ROOT/sbin/condor_off -master
   

9. Use Lingon to create a launchd item to execute condor_start.sh as a service.
   
10. In Lingon, Click expert mode in the bottom right, then add the following
