• How can you tell which job is assossiated associated with an email given the email message doesn't have include a working dir or the assigned batch_name?
• Is there a config option that will cause condor to not start?  We have diskless nodes and it is easier to modify the config file then change systemd.
• Bug where James's jobs are all put on the same core.  Here is top -u krowe showing the Last Used Cpu (SMP) after I submitted five sleep jobs to the same host.
  • Is this just a side effect of condor using cpuacct instead of cpuset in cgroup?
  • Is this a failure of the Linux kernel to schedule things on separate cores?
  • Is this because cpu.shares is set to 100 instead of 1024?

• Bug in condor_annex: The following will wait for an annex named krowe - annex - casa5 (note the spaces).  If I pass $(myannex) as an argument to a shell script, the spaces are not there.  Underscores instead of hyphens cause different problems.
  
  • include.htc
    • myannex = krowe-annex-casa5
  • submit.htc
    • include : include.htc
    • executable = /bin/sleep
    • arguments = 127
    • +MayUseAWS = True
    • requirements = AnnexName == $(myannex)
    • queue
• Actually, I think these aren't bug exactly but limitations on using macros.  The AnnexName needs to be quoted but how can I quote a macro?
  • No: requirements = AnnexName == "$(myannex)"
  • No: myannex = "krowetest2"
  • No: myannex = \"krowetest2\"
  • No:myannex = "\"krowetest2\""

    
    

• Bug in condor_annex: Underscores in the AnnexName prevent the annex from moving into the pool.
  • Also when I try to terminate an annex with underscores (e.g. krowe_annex_casa5) with the command condor_off -annex krowe_annex_casa5 I get the following error
    • Found no ClassAds when querying pool (local)
    • Can't find addresses for master's for constraint 'AnnexName =?= "krowe_annex_casa5"'

    • Perhaps you need to query another pool.

• Torque has this command called pbsnodes that can not only offline/drain a node but keeps a note about it that all can see in one place.  I know I can use condor_off to drain a node but is there a central place keep notes so I can remember a month later why I set a certain node to drain?Can we get an increase in quota for /software/nu_jrobnett.  Quota appears to be 4GB which is not enough for 2 version of our software package (it's close).CHTC will increase our quota

• How can I set a variable in a DAG file that I can then use in the submit file in a conditional?  None of the following seem to work
  • DAG:

    • VARS step01 CHTC=""

    • VARS step05 CHTC="True"
  • Submit:
    
    • if defined $(CHTC)
      • requirements = PoolName == "CHTC"
    • endif
  • or
  • DAG:
    • #VARS step01 CHTC="True"
    • VARS step05 CHTC="True"
  • Submit:
    • if defined $(CHTC)
      • requirements = PoolName == "CHTC"
    • endif
  • or
  • DAG:
    • VARS step01 CHTC="False"
    • VARS step05 CHTC="True"
  • Submit:
    • chtc_var = $(CHTC)
    • if $(chtc_var)
      • requirements = PoolName == "CHTC"
    • endif
  • even though when I pass $(chtc_var) as arguments to the shell script, the shell script sees it as True.
  • or
  • DAG:

    • VARS node1 file="chtc.htc"

    • VARS node2 file="aws.htc"
  • Submit:
    • include : $(file)
