Re: [HTCondor-users] Parsing the cluster id from condor_submit

[John M Knoeller <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

condor_submit -terse

and 

condor_submit -verbose

are both designed to be parsed.

I would recommend using -terse. which prints just the first and last job-id to stdout.

When submitting a single job first and last id will be the same

> condor_submit -terse sleep.sub -queue 1
15918.0 - 15918.0

>condor_submit -terse sleep.sub -queue 2
15919.0 - 15919.1

Subject: [HTCondor-users] Parsing the cluster id from condor_submit

 

I have some code that parses the cluster ID from condor_submit based on stdout, where stdout would show something like:

 

Submitting 12 job(s)……

12 job(s) submitted to cluster 1064

 

Is there a better method to return the cluster ID from a condor_submit command? I worry about this output inevitably changing at some point and don’t want to lean on this for production workflows.
