[Condor-users] Machine ranking

["rb" <robertbosch@xxxxxx>]

Hello,
I would like to set a machine ranking in such a way that when a certain job (eg "minification"-job) is send to the pool it should get highest priority and all current jobs are preempted.
I want to do this by using the ARGUMENTS in the submission files and specify them in the condor_config files of the nodes.

I attached a submission file as example.
The ARGUMENTS are here:

Arguments = @MinifierJob_2.rsp imagetool

The problem I am having is this: Most of the times my submission files are containing a whole list of arguments. In the above mentioned case I would like to use only the information "imagetool". How can I "extract" a certain information out of this list of arguments.

My ranking in the config files of the nodes should look something like:

RANK = ARGUMENTS == "imagetool"

But this is only working when having only one argument and not a whole list. Can someone help me out with this?

Best regards,
Robert
