Why are my vm universe VMware jobs failing and being put on hold?
 
-Strange behavior has been noted when HTCondor tries to run a vm universe VMware job using a path to a VMX that contains a symbolic link. An example of an error message that may appear in such a job’s user log:

-To work around this problem:
+This problem may exist when using file transfer,
+which is when the submit description file contains
+=vmware_should_transfer_files = true=.
+Work around the problem by modifying configuration variable =EXECUTE=
+on all execute machines,
+such that they do _not_ contain symbolic link path components.
 
-If using file transfer (the submit description file contains vmware_should_transfer_files =
-true), then modify any configuration variable EXECUTE values on all execute machines,
-such that they do not contain symbolic link path components.
-
-If using a shared file system, ensure that the submit description file command vmware_dirdoes not use symbolic link path name components.
+If using a shared file system, ensure that the submit description file command =vmware_dir= does not use symbolic link path name components.
