Right. So there are no other attributes that I can't see with
"condor_status -long" that I could use then other than the two Prio ones
I already mentioned. Got it. Thanks.

I'm trying to make it harder for PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS to become true
for any particular job. For example: there is no point preempting jobs
that come from the same schedd machine as the job looking for a place to
run because we have essentially infinitly long retirement times set. So
you might as well just wait for the job to finish and then the machine
will come back to your schedd. So I've added (My.ClientMachine =!=
Target.ClientMachine) and &&'ed with the rest of the
PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS string. Does that make sense?
