Re: [Condor-users] How to find starter process which got struck and not responding to Startd

["Timothy St. Clair" <tstclair@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a couple of questions regarding your questions ;-) 

1.) What version of condor are you running?
2.) What type of vm job are you running?  (vmware, lvm, or xen?) 

Cheers,
Tim
