Re: [HTCondor-users] Slot weights

Hi Christoph.

I donât think that has the intended effect, since it does not affect the job priority, no? The slot weight does affect the job priority as far as I can tell, which is what I want.

I found some gem on the list archives that I am trying out in test mode now.  More later!

Note that the only attributes valid within the SLOT_WEIGHT expression are Cpus, Memory, and disk. This must the set to the same value on all machines in the pool.
