Re: [HTCondor-users] Putting MAX_JOBS_RUNNING limit for a user

[ervikrant06@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi Todd,

Thanks. Definitely this option is helpful for my requirement.Â

Two followup queries:Â

- Are we planning to introduce this feature in a stable series soon?Â

- Is't also possible to set a user limit irrespective of the submit box? so that if a user is submitting from multiple boxes, the limit will apply.

Thanks & Regards,

Vikrant Aggarwal

Hello HTCondor Experts,Â

MaxJobsRunning parameter is to put a limit on running jobs for all users. I want to use this parameter to keep different value for one user. I tried this _expression_ but it doesn't work.Â

MAX_JOBS_RUNNING = ifthenelse(regexp("vaggarwal",owner),10,60000)

Not working seems to be expected as per the following output.

Hi Vikrant,

One quick idea comes to mind:

Starting with version 8.9.8 and above, HTCondor now supports setting an upper bound on the number of cores any individual user can be matched with pool-wide by the central manager. This is called the submitter ceiling. The ceiling can be set with the condor_userprio -setceiling command line option. See the man page for condor_userprio.
