Hi Andy and others : It is not direct xrootd question, but related to it while running BetaMiniApp job. I want to use two xrootd server back to back : one for cdb and one for input file. I tried syntex given below, but it did not work. read /store/SPskims/R24/24*/Tau11/000998/* xrootd orthrus.westgrid.ca:1094/hep200/kanga read * xrootd elephant07.heprc.uvic.ca:1094//lustreFS/BaBar/ ii) Any advise how to make it work ?
