JobAgents will still run from CVMFS, but their startup script may now be modified - allowing for changes such as what variables are exported, scripts are run before start, and containers may also be enabled/disabled as desired. Other in-code overrides are also possible (at own risk). As with the first option, a valid Grid certificate or a user/host token in ```~/.globus``` is required. 1. Clone the JAliEn Git repository:
