[HTCondor-users] Jobs starting on HOLD

["Koschmieder, Lukas" <Lukas.Koschmieder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

according to condor_q my jobs start on HOLD and then transit to IDLE and RUN. Is this the expected behavior?

lkosch@tux208:HTCondor$ condor_submit -remote tux223 free.job && \
while true; do \
condor_q -n tux223; \
sleep 1; \
done

Submitting job(s).
1 job(s) submitted to cluster 227.
