[Condor-users] Forcing condor clients to do just one job at a time?

[Brad Goldsmith <bcg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Is there a way to make condor client take only one job at a time?

I am running some jobs with a known execution time (wall clock time), and after a while condor starts to report the jobs being finished in less than that time. Assuming my code isn't broken, it looks as though condor is deciding to grab another job and get started on it as well in parallel. For this particular case, I don't want this to happen.

Is there a way of stopping it happening? I can change the negotiator intervals, etc but want to check first if there is a "one at a time" setting.

Thanks,

Brad
