[HTCondor-users] Warning for resource requests without units

["Anderson, Stuart B." <sba@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the best way to configure Condor to generate a submit-time warning for jobs that do not specify units for their resource requests?

The problem I want to solve is users mistakenly assuming, for example, that request_memory has the same default units as request_disk, which results in either excessive job queue wait times, or jobs wasting 99.9% of the memory they are allocated.

Note, someone on the OSG team thought that job transforms happen too late for this use case, and if this works out I may eventually want to change the warning to an error.

Thanks.
