Re: [Condor-users] URGENT Claimed - Idle Question

[John Weez <john@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I live down the street from UCLA! Anyhow, I have noticed this on my 
Condor pool at home. My computers will be claimed  and say busy, then a 
few seconds later it will be claimed suspended/idle...then 5 minutes 
later it will become busy again and start processing.

Question: Do you have you condor master computer also accepting jobs to 
execute??? If so, try configuring  your condor master to not be 
availabel for executing jobs. It seems to me that teh master server is 
getting bogged down  and not attending all the other computers.. This 
seemed to fix my problem which is very close to what you describe.
