Re: [HTCondor-users] periodic_remove based on the output of script?

Hi,

PERIODIC_REMOVE is mainly acting on the base of the job classadd as far as I know and the most condorish way to solve your issue would probably be to let startd run your script and echo the output to stdout e.g. echo "remove_me = true" this would almost automatically put that value into the job_classadd and you could work with it in diefferent ways .

The PERIODIC_REMOVE could then remove jobs based on the value of that part of the job classadd ...

Betreff: [HTCondor-users] periodic_remove based on the output of script?

Hi,

I guess this is a very weird question, but with HTCondor you never know. It may be one of the thousands of knobs in page 517 :)

Is it possible to somehow hook PERIODIC_REMOVE with an external script, and set its value to True/False based on the output of that script?

If not possible, an alternative could be that this external scripts runs in parallel, eventually creates a flag file, and PERIODIC_REMOVE reacts to the presence of that file. Would that be doable? 

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers,

Jose
