If your submit machine crashes, any running jobs are killed on the execute
machines. When the submit machine restarts, the jobs will be marked as
idle and Condor will attempt to acquire new machines on which to restart
them. Since scheduler universe jobs just run on the submit machine,
they're restarted immediately. Therefore, all your jobs need to be able to
deal with dying in mid-execution (or just after completion) and afterwards
being restarted.
