[HTCondor-users] condor_now with jupyter notebooks

["Beyer, Christoph" <christoph.beyer@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am struggling to get the jupyter notebooks started in time on a pool with a fraction of reserved slots for that purpose :( 

I would like to use condor_now for the purpose but I am unable to provide an idle job for all 'possible' users hence I need a workflow more or less like this: 

- keep a dozen or so idle jobs 
- user logs in and starts a notebook 
- take one of the idle jobs and alter it's ownership to match the user 
- use condor_now to replace the idle job with the actual notebook job 

Is there anybody doing something similar maybe or could give me a hint if and how this could be done ? 

Best
Christoph
