Re: [HTCondor-users] [CondorLIGO] Getting job PID from condor

[Peter Francis Couvares <pfcouvar@xxxxxxx>]

Duncan,

I donât believe Condor transmits the pid of your back to the submit machine by default (and note that there are often many pids associated with a job; but I assume you mean the âparent" job pid initially forked by the condor_starter on the execute machine).

However, one good way to dramatically streamline your current technique might be to use condor_ssh_to_job and print the _CONDOR_JOB_PIDS environment variable.  I.e.:

% condor_ssh_to_job <jobid> 'echo _CONDOR_JOB_PIDSâ

Hi,

I was just wondering if there is any way of easily obtaining the PID of a job running on a compute node. I've looked through the documentation as well as the output of condor_q -long but haven't been able to see anything. At the moment I'm having to do a rather complicated process of getting the condor ID from condor_q, searching for the ip address within the dags nodes.log file, then ssh'ing into that node to obtain it.

Thanks, Duncan
