Condor Job Management
From Research IT
The following hosts have access to condor job management. You must be logged into this host in order to use Condor.
- prometheus.rit.albany.edu
Some commands to get status information are condor_status and condor_q.
In order to give fair time and allocation to all users we recommend the following steps for condor jobs.
- Attempt to keep the length of any ONE job ( not the whole batch ) to no more than 8 hours. We would rather you submit more shorter jobs than fewer longer jobs. This is because it will allow other a chance to run jobs between yours.
- If your jobs are low prioity add "nice_user = true" to your condor submit file.
These are recommendations and should not be perceived as hard and fast rules on what can or should be run. If your research can not fit these recomendations, just let us know so we can be aware of the problem. We recommend these settings so that all users can get a fair crack at the queue.
