I do something similar with the start _expression_, and the trick is simply a nested set of conditional expressions. Instead of âundefinedâ in your example, youâd have another ifThenElse, creating whatâs essentially a switch statement.

Â

You can nest them by self-reference:

Â

Want_hold_reason = undefined

Want_hold_reason = ifThenElse( $(Memory_exceeded), âmemory exceededâ, $(Want_hold_reason) )

Want_hold_reason = ifThenElse( $(Cpu_exceeded), âcpu allocation exceededâ, $(Want_hold_reason) )

Â

This allows you to spread the settings across multiple config files.

Looking at WANT_HOLD

Â

WANT_HOLDÂ=Â($(MEMORY_EXCEEDED))ÂÂ
WANT_HOLD_REASONÂ=Â\ÂÂ
ÂÂÂifThenElse(Â$(MEMORY_EXCEEDED),Â\ÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ"YourÂjobÂusedÂtooÂmuchÂvirtualÂmemory.",Â\ÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂundefinedÂ)

What if I have 5+ reasons to hold a job. What is the most sanest and maintainabilityÂperspectiveÂto construct the WANT_HOLD_REASON clause?Â

Â

My reasons are: if the job gets executed from a certain submitter, time of day, job duration, memory, etc..
