RE: [Condor-users] CORRECTION: Confirming MAX_JOBS_RUNNINGdefaultstoinfinite

["Ian Chesal" <ICHESAL@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, can someone offer up an explanation of this variable? If I set
it to 1 and submit 10 jobs will that mean that only one job at a time
from this submitter will ever execute? The comment in the default
condor_config file says that this controls the number of shadows
spawned:

##  What's the maximum number of jobs you want a single submit machine
##  to spawn shadows for?
#MAX_JOBS_RUNNING       = 200

Does shadows == running jobs in condor-speak? Do I need to up this
number if I want users to be able to submit 1000+ jobs from a single
host and have them all run concurrently?

This is definitly worth documenting someplace.

Whoops, my apologies!  The answer above is flat-out wrong.  (Thanks for 
Erik for pointing it out.)

If MAX_JOBS_RUNNING is undefined (which it is in the config file by 
default), the schedd defaults internally to 200.
