[Condor-users] problem with priority

[Nicolas GUIOT <nicolas.guiot@xxxxxxx>]

Hi

I have a user who submitted about 2000 jobs as nice_user : some of them are runnign now, and some are waiting : 

......
 179.496 nice-user.sacq  5/12 18:58   0+00:21:14 R  0   6.8  mainjob.sh
 179.497 nice-user.sacq  5/12 18:58   0+00:10:58 R  0   0.0  mainjob.sh
 179.498 nice-user.sacq  5/12 18:58   0+00:09:37 R  0   0.0  mainjob.sh
 179.499 nice-user.sacq  5/12 18:58   0+00:07:33 R  0   0.0  mainjob.sh
 179.500 nice-user.sacq  5/12 18:58   0+00:00:00 I  0   0.0  mainjob.sh
 179.501 nice-user.sacq  5/12 18:58   0+00:00:00 I  0   0.0  mainjob.sh
 179.502 nice-user.sacq  5/12 18:58   0+00:00:00 I  0   0.0  mainjob.sh
etc......

So this user has extremly low priority.

Then I have a second user who wants to start some jobs, but it keeps staying idle, even when some jobs of user 1 finish, user 2 can't start his ones, the user 1's job start seems to be prioritar :(

You can see here my global config file, it's based on UWCS values furnished in the sample_config : which values should I change ?

Thanks in advance
Nicolas
