[Condor-users] Blast on Windows

[Jess Cannata <jac67@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am having problems running Blast (non-parallel) jobs on Windows XP 
using Condor 6.6.10. Blast jobs that take less than an hour finish 
without error. Jobs that take more than hour never terminate even though 
the job has "finished," meaning the job no longer uses any CPU time. 
They continue to run forever and continue to allocate RAM. I've included 
a log file of one of the non-terminating jobs which should have finished 
after an hour and a half.

I have run the same jobs on the same machines without Condor and these 
jobs finish without any problem. Other types of jobs (non-Blast) run 
longer than one hour without incident. Has anyone seen this problem 
before? Would any Blast on Windows users be willing to share their 
Condor submission files?

Thanks in advance.
