Globus is primarily an infrastructure upon which to develop distributed applications
Command-line tools are limited
Some users don’t want to rewrite their applications to use Globus
Condor-G provides them a powerful interface to the Grid to run their existing applications

Solution: GlideIn
Use the Globus Universe to run the Condor daemons on Globus resources
When the resources run these GlideIn jobs, they will join your Condor Pool
Submit your jobs as Standard or Vanilla Universe jobs and they will be matched and run on the Globus resources
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor
What if a Globus resource kills my GlideIn?
That resource will disappear from your pool and you jobs will be rescheduled on other machines
What if all my jobs are done before a GlideIn runs?
If the glided-in Condor daemons are not matched with a job in 10 minutes, they terminate
