[Condor-users] Ref: Condor Idle job state

["Pranav Aggarwal" <pranav.aggwl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am facing some problem in running jobs on Condor while submitting job from Condor...

Well, I have installed condor on linux machine and configured as well.

I submit job using
$ condor_submit submit

content of 'submit' file is:

Universe = vanilla
Executable = simple
Arguments  = 4 10
Log        = simple.log
Output     = simple.out
Error      = simple.error
Queue


it is able to create 
simple.log, simple.out and simple.error, but no content in simple.out and simple.error

$condor_q

4 jobs; 4 idle, 0 running, 0 held

the state is idle for several hours... with no changes,
hey
can i use the machine on which the job for other purpose, or that
machine has to remain idle i.e. no other work should be done !?!

Then,
I realized that machine should be left idle, so i left the machine idle
for few hours. To my surprise the job did executed. But what came to
surprise that, whenever I query the machine, it always says that job is
idle and not running.

Please tell me how should i solve the
above problem, I just need job should be in run state and give the
output and not remain in idle state...

hope u can help me ,

Thanks
Pranav
