[Condor-users] Odd behaviour of jobs

[Robin Harrington <robin.harrington@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In the job log below, the behaviour is not what I expected. The desired
behaviour is that jobs should be suspended when keyboard activity is
detected and then unsuspended when the system is idle again. But why are
they being evicted only a few minutes later?

Any particular job attribute I should be looking at?

All suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks
Robin
