Re: [HTCondor-users] Prevent preemption on specific type of jobs

Yes this is possible if you control the configuration of the execute node  your PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS _expression_ is evaluated in the context of SLOT and attributes of the job that is currently running can be pushed into the slot using 

STARTD_JOB_EXPRS

The manual mentions this specifically 

Configuration Macros — HTCondor Manual 9.0.0 documentation

Subject: [HTCondor-users] Prevent preemption on specific type of jobs

 

Hi all,

I wish to prevent preemption of specific type of jobs, For example jobs with DAGNodeName = (somkind of regexp).

Is it possible to add it in any way to the preemption_requirments?

Many Thanks

David.
