[HTCondor-users] JOB_IS_FINISHED_* config options not removing jobs with delay

[Mary Hester <maryh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I tried to implement a short delay (10 min) before jobs are removed from 
the condor_q output, but this went horribly wrong and seemed to keep the 
jobs around for days.

In our schedd configuration I added:

# manual says delay time is in seconds: 
https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin-manual/configuration-macros.html#JOB_IS_FINISHED_INTERVAL
JOB_IS_FINISHED_INTERVAL=600
JOB_IS_FINISHED_COUNT=1000

I believe that second number is ok to be a high value since we do not 
want to limit the number of jobs that are allowed to leave the 
condor_schedd.

Was there something I was missing here?

Thanks,

Mary
