[Condor-users] Suspension by another condor job

[Bob Cregan <bob.cregan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
      Is it possible, even in principle, to have a job suspended by 
another condor job?
As I understand when a job is suspended the clam is still valid and, as 
condor will only let one one job on a resource at any time, another job 
cannot be run by condor.
The context is we have a few users who run very long jobs and we would 
like to have their jobs suspended for a bit to let little job through. 
Checkpointing is not on since we run the vanilla universe and preemption 
is annoying for such long jobs.
The software is condor-6.6.10 running the vanilla universe on SuSE 9.3.

Thanks

Bob
