Re: [HTCondor-users] Limit a particular user to a certain number of jobs

Hi Christoph,

 

Thank you for the direction, I will experiment with this. Do you know if this would require a restart of the startd daemon to apply?

 

Many thanks,

 

Tom

Hi,

 

I just looked into that the other day and you can use the countevent feature inside the start _expression_, found this in an older post from Todd but did not test it:

 

START=$START && countMatches(x==User,eval(strcat("{ [x=\"",join("\";], [x=\"",ChildRemoteUser),"\"] }"))) < 2

 

Best

Betreff: [HTCondor-users] Limit a particular user to a certain number of jobs

 

Hi Condor Community,

 

Hopefully, a simple question that I’m over thinking and making too complex. Is there a way to limit a particular user to only run a certain number of jobs per startd? If possible I’d like to avoid restarting the startd for changing this users limit per startd.

 

Many thanks,
