[Condor-users] Priority issue

[Nicolas GUIOT <nicolas.guiot@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I started a first job (72), which is made of about 150 queued jobs.
Then I later started a second one (74), which I need first. 
So, once started, I modified the 74's priority with : 
condor_prio -p 500 74
I also modified the 72's priority to -15.

Now my problem is that only one of the 74 job runs and other CPUs are used by 72. Even when a 72 job finishes, if a 74 is running, it doesn't launch any new 74.

Here is the submissions script (both similar) : 

Universe = vanilla

Executable      = /nfs/rhea/attract
arguments       = T27_R_M-mutate.pdb T27_L.red $(Process)
output          = /nfs/MC2/output.$(Process).txt
error           = /nfs/MC2/ERROR.$(Process)
Log             = /nfs/MC2/LOG.$(Process)


should_transfer_files = YES
when_to_transfer_output = ON_EXIT
transfer_input_files = T27_R_M-mutate.pdb, T27_L.red,translat.dat,attract.inp,aminon.par,rotation.dat,stan
dard.pdb
notify_user     = user@xxxxxxxxx
notification    = error

queue 147


Here is the (truncated) condor_q result  :
