[HTCondor-users] best practice for periodic metric script along jobs

[Thomas Hartmann <thomas.hartmann@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I would like to ask, if there is some 'established best practice' to run
periodically a script along each job.

I.e., I would like to run a small metrics script periodically (~5m) for
each job, collect the output and add a summary of the metrics to the
job's summary.

I guess, it should work to start such a script as pre job process into
the background, loop/write the metrics in a separate file/pipe and
colelct the metrics by a post job script.
But I wonder, if there is a more Condor way(?), e.g., a cron for each
starter (startd?) and storing the metrics in an extra job class ad (or
adding it to the job log with a grep'able identifier)?

Cheers,
  Thomas
