[Condor-users] debugging STARTD_CRON jobs

["Wingard, Jeffrey" <jwingard@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am using the STARTD_CRON facility to keep track of how many licenses are available for my software. I have a routine "fad" that produces the following output to stdout

 

software1_available = 5

software2_available = 0

...

 

then in my ClassAd I have the line

 

Requirements = ( software1_available > 0 )

 

 

1. Is this the correct way to do this?

2. How do I see the value of software_available to make sure it is getting set correctly from the STARTD_CRON job.

 

The StartLog indicates that "fad" is indeed being run. See below
