Minor aside, besides when the job stops running, I think the config knob WALL_CLOCK_CKPT_INTERVAL can periodically sync wall clock time to disk. SeeThe big point of confusion here is that the updates to RemoteWallClockTime are not persistent until the job stops running. This means they are not visible to condor_q while the job is running.
