RE: [Condor-users] jobs wait in idle mode unecessarily

["Bryan S. Maher" <Bryan.Maher@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ian,

are you submitting jobs from a Win2K box to a Win2K box?  By default, Condor will try to find a machine running the exact same OS at the submitter.  Most of my group is running XP on their desktop and we saw this same behavior until we added a requirements statement something like

   requirements = (OpSys != BOGUS)

Hope this helps.
