That's not how substr is called. I'm not sure substr would be all that
helpful here anyway.

It looks like the regexp parsing doesn't like the use of ^ and $. You
might try dropping that. I did a similar test for sleep jobs in my
history (version 8.3.2):

-bash-3.2$ condor_history -const 'regexp("^.+sleep.+$", Cmd)' | wc -l
1
-bash-3.2$ condor_history -const 'regexp("sleep", Cmd)' | wc -l
5146
-bash-3.2$

Since you have a held job in the queue, you can use condor_q with a
constraint to test your SYSTEM_PERIODIC_RELEASE expression before you
set it.
