[Condor-devel] re-thinking definition of TotalRunningJobs

[Erik Erlandson <eerlands@xxxxxxxxxx>]

(cribbed from earlier irc post to #distcomp)

Is anybody aware of potential negative impacts of simplifying the criteria for counting 'TotalRunningJobs' (aka scheduler.JobsRunning) to something like "just count all jobs with status = {RUNNING | IDLE | UNEXPANDED}"?  It pertains to addressing gt#602, and also gt#642 and gt#334.  One impact would be more jobs of certain kinds would be counted toward max-jobs limit.  Which may be why current counting exceptions were put in place to begin with.
