Re: [Condor-users] condor_status and condor_q disagree about state ofvm's

["Kewley, J \(John\)" <j.kewley@xxxxxxxx>]

Have you tried using the -direct option to condor_status to get the
info from the node itself rather than from the central node?

BTW do you have a startd on your central node too? If so,
you should be careful, there may be security implications of that.

Cheers
