Re: [HTCondor-users] How to change default PRIORITY_HALFLIFE

[John M Knoeller <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Run

 

     condor_config_val -verbose PRIORITY_HALFLIFE

 

That will tell you what configuration file to edit.  If condor_config_val indicates that the setting is not coming from a file,  then you will have to add it to one of your configuration files.  You can get the names of all of the config files by running.

 

     condor_config_val -config

 

condor_config_val -set is intended for use to remotely change selected configuration values while condor is running.  This can be a huge security risk, so condor_config_val -set can only change values that have been enabled for remote config by adding them to the configuration file using the SETTABLE_ATTRS_<permission-level> configuration variable.

By default there are no configuration variables that can be set using condor_config_val -set.

Hi Guys,

                We need to change PRIORITY_HALFLIFE  from default 24 hrs. to 6 hrs.

I tried it by running below on the master host , but it failed.

 

 

[root@test1 ~]# condor_config_val -set "PRIORITY_HALFLIFE = 21600"
Attempt to set configuration "PRIORITY_HALFLIFE = 21600" on master test1 <192.168.30.74:9618?addrs=192.168.30.74-9618&alias=test1&noUDP&sock=master_2481495_bf1f> failed.

 

 

Please let me know how to do it.

 

Thanks,

Gagan
