[Condor-users] keyboardIdle under windows XP / suspend timeout

Title: [Condor-users] condor_view server running wild

Hello Everyone!

 

I really enjoy Condor and truely see the power behind this software!

I starting to handle job Suspension and preempting and running into some problems now.

 

a) on my windows XP, I started a timed loop which triggers condor_status -l hostname, the keyboardIdle and consoleIdle always stays to 0 event if I dont touch keyboard and mouse. ( even unconnected the mouse ).

is there a known bug with 6.6.8? I am using a vanilla universe with condor 6.6.8.

 

b) I have been searching the web and the documentation, I could not find if there was a timeout for a suspended job.

does it use the KILL _expression_ to kill a suspended job? or is there a timeout variable I should be using?

 

Tx a lot
