[HTCondor-users] A job which depends on an other job finish

[Martin Sajdl <masaj.xxx@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I need to run two jobs in a kind of sequence where the second one (B) 
should start when the first one (A) is complete. I know about DAG 
feature, but for some reasons I cannot use it (version 8.8 where python 
binding does not support DAG, the "dependency scheme" or DAG is not 
known at time the first job is submitted).
I know ID of A job when submitting B job.
My idea is to submit B job in hold state and run a task in our internal 
monitoring script in parallel which will wait till A job finishes, then 
release B job. I think it should work, but it requires the special 
task/script for waiting, so I am curious if there is an ability to set 
such dependency directly into the job submit description?
Maybe something like:

periodic_release = ???

Thank you in advance for any hint!
Martin
