Description Matthew Farrellee 2008-11-17 16:41:59 UTC

Description of problem:

Not technically a problem, but an inconsistency.

/var/run/condor should be the target for pidfiles, and it should be made available from the condor RPM.

Comment 1 Matthew Farrellee 2008-11-17 16:42:46 UTC

This is a problem for people who store /var/lib/condor on a shared file system.

Comment 2 Matthew Farrellee 2009-01-21 15:56:12 UTC

This will be fixed in 7.2.0-4

    Moved pidfile from /var/lib/condor to a more proper /var/run/condor
