The Condor Admin Tutorial Workbook


In order to give you a hands on tutorial of Condor, we have built a set of excercies to go through.

Each example has its own web page. Please read the instructions carefully. Any lines that begin with "% " are commands that you should execute in your command window (the xterm on the left-hand side of your screen).

If you have any questions, please ask.
