[Condor-users] condor_status bug?

["Burnett, Ben" <ben.burnett@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey:

I can't recall if this is a know problem or not, but some googling for it did not return any meaningful results.  It seems there is a slight problem with the argument handling in condor_status.  The problem seems to revolve around the use of the -xml argument.  Sometimes, depending on the where in the argument list the -xml option lies, condor_status thinks there is a conflict between it and some other argument condor_status has been given.

For example, when using '-state' condor_status exhibits this behaviour:

$ condor_status -xml -state 
Error:  arg 2 (-state) contradicts arg 1 (-xml)

Meanwhile, reversing the arguments works just fine:

$ condor_status -state -xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE classads SYSTEM "classads.dtd">
<classads>
<c>
    <a n="MyType"><s>Machine</s></a>
    <a n="TargetType"><s>Job</s></a>
...

The same is true for '-submitters', '-any', etc., but not for other arguments like '-attr', '-vm' or '-java'.
