I'm assuming you mean the slot (listed by condor_status) does to the 
Suspended state when your job is running. Chances are you have a SUSPEND 
policy (condor_config_val -v SUSPEND) that is getting tripped.

If you're just starting out, give yourself a policy that will always let 
your jobs run, when you're more settled, lock it down. Start with this 
on your execute nodes (those running the condor_startd) -

START = TRUE
SUSPEND = FALSE
PREEMPT = FALSE
KILL = FALSE

Best,
