[HTCondor-users] condor jobs remaining idle if the host name or the port are misspelled

[Marco Mambelli <marcom@xxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,
I'm submitting grid universe jobs to a HTCondor-CE and the jobs remain idle is there is a mistake in the grid_resource string.
I would have expected an error at submission or the job to go on hold after a some time.
Instead also hours later it remains idle
Is that supposed to be?
I thought in the past it was different.
If it is supposed to be this way, how can I distinguish between a site busy and a misspelled name?
If it is not supposed, any suggestion on finding what I could do wrong?

e.g.
CE host aaa.fnal.gov (std OSG installation, port 9619

universe = grid
grid_resource = condor aaa.fnal.gov aaa.fnal.gov:9619
...
queue
grid_resource = condor aaaAAA.fnal.gov aaa.fnal.gov:9619
queue
grid_resource = condor aaa.fnal.gov aaaAAA.fnal.gov:9619
queue
grid_resource = condor aaa.fnal.gov aaa.fnal.gov:9677
queue

Of the jobs above in the same cluster, the first one completes successfully, others remain IDLE


I tried 2 submit hosts:
one w/ v8.8.9, one w/ 8.9.6

the CE is 
$CondorVersion: 8.8.9 May 11 2020 PackageID: 8.8.9-1.1 $
$CondorPlatform: X86_64-CentOS_7.8 $

Thank you,
Marco
