[gate-users] Condor

[Fernando Rannou]

Hi Junhyung

I would recommend the NFS approach, although Condor
should be able to handle other configurations. The directory
where you install a software should be visible to all nodes
in the cluster, because when Gate is started in that node it will
try to link the libraries. But that is not enough. You also
need to have the user be NFS, so all macro definitions like
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ROOTSYS, etc, etc are also know everywhere.

Also add the following line to your Condor submit file

Getenv = True

so when the remote job starts, Gate will read the environment
variables that were set during the moment of submission in
your local node (submit machine). Do you follow?
