RE: [Condor-users] jobs wait in idle mode unecessarily

["Dr Ian C. Smith" <i.c.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a vanilla job and the file permissions are OK (it's
under win 2k). Also there are no nice user options
specified. Unfortunately I can't seem to reproduce it at
the moment but I'm getting a similar possibly related
problem that killed jobs hang around in the idle state.

This from SchedLog looks pertinent:

any ideas,
