[Condor-users] criteria for non-DAG job failures?

[Vlad <vlad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

Condor documentation provides some details for what's considered to be a job failure for DAG submissions (e.g. http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.8/2_10DAGMan_Applications.html#SECTION003105000000000000000) and that seems to cover process exit codes.

What about non-DAG (cluster) jobs? I use 'notification = error' and the empirical observation (using a very new v7.8 install) is that I do get emails when jobs crash as a result of SIGBUS, etc. However, if a job returns with a non-zero error code (e.g. non-zero return from main() in C/C++) there are no emails. Is it possible to change this behavior? Could this be a matter of changing the default Condor configuration or using the appropriate submit descriptor incantation?

Thank you in advance,
Vlad
