Ruby Wrapper for Condor

This is a Ruby wrapper for the Condor distributed computing framework.

It consists of a wrapper for a Condor submit file and a program, condor-exec, that submits an arbitrary command line as a Condor job. For example:

condor-exec prog –option arg1 arg2

queues up a job for the program prog with arguments --option arg1 arg2. To pass options to condor-exec itself, place them before prog. For example:

condor-exec –output=myoutput prog –option arg1 arg2

Alternately, arguments may be specified in a separate arguments file, and one Condor job will be queued for each line in the file.

condor-exec –argfile=args prog

See condor-exec --help for more information.

An /etc/ruby-condor.yaml file may be used to specify default attributes for all processes. This is a YAML encoding a of hash. For example, the following will specify the Universe, Getenv, and Log values:

— Universe: vanilla Getenv: “true” Log: /tmp/$ENV(USER).condor.$(Cluster)
