You may be looking for something like Cumin, which
is put out by Red Hat
as the MRG Management Console:

https://fedorahosted.org/grid/wiki/Cumin
http://tmckayus.github.io/blog/2012/09/24/new-post/

"""
Cumin is designed to meet the needs
of a variety of Condor users.
Non-admin end users are given a streamlined
interface to create and
manage their own submissions. The administrative views allow System
Admins to monitor pool resources and
Condor infrastructure while
Operational Admins may be more interested
in the workload running
on the pool. Cumin has development hooks
which make it possible to
create customized presentations for
different user and site profiles. 
"""

If you want to develop something yourself, you should
use the
Python bindings rather than system(condor_q), as it's
much more
efficient and future-proof.
