Re: [HTCondor-users] Edit job requested memory after job enters hold state

[Thomas Hartmann <thomas.hartmann@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Tomer,

if the mem hogs appear just occassionaly, you can give `condor_qedit` a try.

To change an existing jobs memory requirement, something like
  condor_qedit 112345678.0 "RequestMemory = 98765"
should work.
The changes should get applied, when the job gets started and matched 
the next time.

Cheers,
  Thomas
