AW: [Condor-users] I wasted some CPU cycles ;-)

["Thomas Bauer" <tombauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

If you use the standard condor_config from the windows-installer you should
check the MaxSuspendTime in the condor_config. I'm not sure, but as far as I
know this time is set to 30 minutes or so. If the owner of the computer uses
his computer more than 30 minutes the job is killed, so maybe you should
boost the maxsuspendtime.
