Re: [Condor-users] calling condor_submit from script

[uni-ulm.m.roehm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi, 

yes there is.
If you like perl you can use the Condor.pm
library to submit and wait for the job to finish. (See http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.8.0/4_4Application_Program.html#SECTION00545000000000000000)
If not you can simply write your own
library to submit and monitor your job. All you have to do is call condor_submit
with an system exec call and parse the log file from time to time to see
if the job has finished. All the regexs you need for parsing the log file
are in Condor.pm in the subroutine "monitor".
