Re: [HTCondor-users] Limiting jobs to two days

Hi Gerard,

1. What do you mean by limit jobs to two days? Do you mean we want to only allow user jobs to execute a max of two days on a EP?
2. What do you want to happen when the max time is reached? Remove the job? Hold the job? Kick the job off the EP for a bit of time?

Subject: [HTCondor-users] Limiting jobs to two days

 

We want to limit user jobs to two days to more fairly allocate resources. We’re asking user to checkpoint their jobs if they are going to run longer than that.

It’s not clear which SYSTEM_PERIODIC_ we should set to best implement this.
