Hi Cole,

we set that in CMS CRAB since ever (~10y) Maybe  at the time there was a concern that too many idle jobs were bad for HTC (possibly autoclusters were not there yet ? only Brian B. could tell, if he remembers).  At the moment it is simply "it works, don't fix".

We use -maxidle.  We use a secondary dependency system outside of dagman to manage a special case where a job releases several other dependent jobs as it runs.  The dependent jobs start on hold.  We increase maxidle to account for those dependent jobs.  It can get up to around 7k sometimes.

Hi All,

For those of you that interact in DAGMan in some fashion regularly, do you use the -maxidle command line option or the DAGMAN_MAX_JOBS_IDLE configuration option. If so, what was the use case that brought about you setting one of these options?

Cheers,
DAGMan Developer at CHTC
