[Condor-users] Condor Webservice spool cleanup

Hello Condor Users,

We have a condor setup about to go into
production on a customer site. We've been in testing for a couple months
and everything seems to be going well except we have about 100,000+ files
that have build up in the spool directory of our condor host machines.
Our condor jobs are being submitted via the webservice into the java universe
and are running properly. After the jobs have completed and sometimes a
little before we are calling the birdbath libraries with the following
commands.

           
Schedd schedd = new Schedd(new URL(IP));
           
Transaction xact = schedd.createTransaction();
           
xact.begin(30);
           
// Clean up job
           
xact.closeSpool(cluster, job);
           
xact.removeJob(cluster, job, "Finished with job");
           
xact.commit();

The jobs are actually beginning removed
from the queue, but they are not being deleted from the spool. Not only
that, but I can't delete any of the files/folders in the spool via condor_preen
or by hand unless I have restarted condor since they've been removed. Has
anyone seen this behavior before? Or have any ideas about how we can clean
up these files? Our condors' version is 6.8.6 and we are running them on
Windows Server 2003.

Thanks,
Josh
