Re: [Condor-users] meaning of condor_stats output

The manual page is confusing, but I think that all of the information is 
there--I apologize for the confusing text.

The output is terse because it is meant for input into a script that can 
turn the data into pretty graphs. Probably we should make a verbose option.

I assume that's a subset of the data. You should have numbers ranging from 
close to zero to close to 100 in the first column.

First column:

You may find it easier to interpret with the -orgformat argument.

Next two columns:

So you have:

time running-jobs idle-jobs
