Re: [Condor-users] Condor scheduling

I don't think 6.6.11 has -better_analyze.

Yes, other users can claim the free machines.

Yes, condor_status (and with -java, which is what he runs) lists them as 
Unclaimed and Idle.

cheers

ps: will just double check that the user hasn't got some obscure 
Requirement that blocks the other machines
