Re: [Condor-users] Help needed in using job_lease_duration

[Robert Rati <rrati@xxxxxxxxxx>]

job_lease_duration deals with how long the the lease is for a given job, 
and leases are renewed so long as the submitter and execute node are in 
contact.  In your situation, the job_lease_duration would only cause the 
job to be killed if the execute machine looses contact with the 
submitter for longer than job_lease_duration and the job doesn't 
complete.  Here's more information on job leases:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.1/2_15Special_Environment.html#6012

You probably want to use periodic_remove in either your job submit file 
(if the limitation is specific to that specific job) or 
SYSTEM_PERIODIC_REMOVE as a configuration parameter for schedd in 
condor_config if this restraint is meant to be for all jobs.
