[Condor-users] Limiting the number of jobs of a particular "type"

["Ian Chesal" <ICHESAL@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm interested in using Condor to manage not only machine resources but
non-computational resources such as FlexLM licenses to software
products. This subject is touched upon the class-ads research area but
not ever mentioned in the Condor documentation. I'm having trouble
conceptualizing how I can write a submit file for a set of jobs that
would allow the jobs to access M machines but never run more than J jobs
simulataneously (where J < M) because each job consumes a FlexLM license
when it runs.

Is this possible?

Thanks!
Ian
