[Condor-users] Want jobs to only follow job priority, but sometimes they sit idle forever!

[Geoffrey Hibbert <hibbert.geoffrey@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to configure my central manager to follow these rules:

1) Disregard user priorities
2) Start newly submitted jobs with higher job priority quickly (<30 seconds past submission time)


Here are some of the hopefully relevant settings on the central manager:

NEGOTIATOR_IGNORE_USER_PRIORITIES = True
WANT_SUSPEND=FALSE
WANT_VACATE        = TRUE
START            = TRUE
SUSPEND            = FALSE
CONTINUE        = $(UWCS_CONTINUE)
PREEMPT            = TRUE
KILL            = $(UWCS_KILL)
PERIODIC_CHECKPOINT    = $(UWCS_PERIODIC_CHECKPOINT)
PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS    = $(UWCS_PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS)
PREEMPTION_RANK        = $(UWCS_PREEMPTION_RANK)
NEGOTIATOR_PRE_JOB_RANK = $(UWCS_NEGOTIATOR_PRE_JOB_RANK)
NEGOTIATOR_POST_JOB_RANK = $(UWCS_NEGOTIATOR_POST_JOB_RANK)
MaxJobRetirementTime    = $(UWCS_MaxJobRetirementTime)
CLAIM_WORKLIFE          = $(UWCS_CLAIM_WORKLIFE)
NEGOTIATOR_INTERVAL = 30


Thanks!
