I suspect that the issues Derek mentioned are more pertinent, but I 
should also point out that in 6.6.6 (and 6.7.2) there is a bug that 
occurs in Windows XP and Windows 2000 SP2 and above that causes console 
apps to be undetectable by Condor, so Condor never gets the chance to 
send the WM_CLOSE. This is fixed, and will work properly in the next 
release.

For now, you can either give your application a WinMain() function 
(instead of main(), so that Condor can find the application's window), 
or just have your job periodically checkpoint itself.

cheers,
