[Condor-users] Java universe - some jobs run for only a few seconds

[Uros Cibej <uros.cibej@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I am trying to run a grid simulator (written in Java) as a Condor job.
Java is correctly configured on all nodes and I can run quite complex 
tasks (e.g. huge matrix multiplications) without any problems.
But when I try to run the simulator, the job finishes in a couple of 
seconds  and i get only a very small fraction of the output.
One simulation normally runs a couple of hours without any problems 
outside Condor.

When I check the log files there are no errors reported - everything 
looks just like as if the job finished completely normally.
I also tried to run the job on a Linux machine as well as on a Windows 
machine, same problem arises in both cases.

The simulation that I am running, contains many threads, so I would like 
to ask if there are any known issues when running such Java applications 
in Condor.
I found a similar problem on this list:

but unfortunately there was no answer to it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
