Re: [Condor-users] max. time for a job to run

[Dan Bradley <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How to prevent a job from running longer than 4 days:

In the job submit file:

periodic_hold = JobStatus == 2 && (CurrentTime - EnteredCurrentStatus) > 
3600*24*4

Or, if you prefer, you could put this in your condor configuration as 
part of a SYSTEM_PERIODIC_HOLD expression.
