[Condor-users] Default User priority factor

["Robert E. Parrott" <parrott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

We'd like to manage effective user priority based on how much a 
research group contributes to the resources in a condor pool.

As such, we need to be able to increase the effective priority on a per 
user basis, raising certain user's priorities about the rest.

To do this, ideally we would want to the default user priority factor 
to be something like 100, and lower this in proportion to the resources 
that a user (or user's group) brings to the table.

At this point, the default user factor is set to 1.0, and can't go any 
lower, which means we've bottomed out in being able to raise a certain 
user's priority over the default.

I s there a way to set the default user priority factor? We've set the 
NICE_USER_PRIO_FACTOR to 10, but this only affects users who choose to 
nice themselves in the submit scripts, and so doesn't allow for 
enforcement of such a policy.

thanx for your time,

rob
