[Condor-users] Only Send Emails on Error

[Jeff Ramnani <jramnani@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My goal is to configure Condor to only send me an email on error, rather than the default which is to send an email every time a job completes.

Given the following script:

  $ cat hello.sh
  #!/bin/bash

  echo "Hello World $1"
  exit 1


And the following submit file:

  $ cat hello.submit
  universe = vanilla
  executable = hello.sh
  log = hello.log
  output = hello.out
  error = hello.err
  queue


I receive an email when the job completes. So far, so good.

However, when I add "Notification = Error" to my submit file, I receive no email, even though the "hello.sh" script exits with a non-zero exit code.  Am I misunderstanding what "Notification=Error" does in a submit file?

I am running Condor 7.4.4 on Ubuntu 10.10.
  $ condor_master -version
  $CondorVersion: 7.4.4 Oct 13 2010 BuildID: 279383 $
  $CondorPlatform: X86_64-LINUX_DEBIAN50 $


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff Ramnani
