<div><br></div><div>Is this possible or another way for this? The reason is depending on the data set i want a different number of workers. Some sets are large and I need to request 100 workers and others are small that 5 will suffice. So I would like to be able to set an environment variable in my run script detailing how many workers to set here. I am using automatic coasters(not passive or persistent). I would like to avoid manual coasters as automatic coasters is working fine for my jobs. I would like to do this so I can only keep one sites file and not a sites file for small, medium, and large data sets.</div>
