I wonder if the start_delay stuff you are trying is designed only to effect the queueing and not with the run time.
In any case, here are a couple of thoughts which might be helpful.
First, it might be worthwhile to describe why you want the delays.
Someone may see from that another way to accomplish that.
Second, hereâs a brute force approach. You can control the run time of each job in a sequence by issuing your condor_submit commands with a script which does the following:
foreach num (`echo â1 2 3 4 5â`)
 condor_submit Job${num}
 Âwait till Job${num}.log appears
ÂÂ poll Job${num}.log for line which appears when the job actually begins.
ÂÂÂÂ When that happens there will be a line something like this:
ÂÂÂÂ 001 (16974323.000.000) 04/15 09:19:22 Job executing on host: <10.1.13.52:47173?CCBID=129.79.53.179:9899#448633&noUDP>
ÂÂ Sleep 5 seconds
end
Â

I tried deferral_time and deferral_prep_time like below. Still no luck. all jobs are starting at same point. I want condor to execute with delay between queues. I have one job with 5 queues in it.
Â
Something like this:
deferral_time = (time() + 600)
deferral_prep_time = 90
queue
...
deferral_time = (time() + 600)
deferral_prep_time = 180
queue
...
deferral_time = (time() + 600)
deferral_prep_time = 270
queueÂ
Can anyone please help me out in this.

Hi,

I have a submit file which has 5 queues in it. I want condor to delay few seconds between each queue execution. I triedÂnext_job_start_delay=90. But it didn't work.Â
Â
How to delay submitting queues with delay between each of them.
Â
submit file:
Â
Rank = 500 - TotalLoadAvg
next_job_start_delay=90
Queue
ec2_user_data_file = userdata_2.shÂ
Rank = 500 - TotalLoadAvg
next_job_start_delay=90
Queue
ec2_user_data_file = userdata_3.shÂ
Rank = 500 - TotalLoadAvg
next_job_start_delay=90
Queue
ec2_user_data_file = userdata_3.shÂ
Rank = 500 - TotalLoadAvg
next_job_start_delay=90
Queue
ec2_user_data_file = userdata_3.shÂ
Rank = 500 - TotalLoadAvg
next_job_start_delay=90
Queue
