Re: [Condor-users] calling condor_submit from script

[Andrew Walker <amw75@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

the alternative is to use "condor_wait <logfile>" and don't worry about parsing the log file yourself. 

To do exactly what you want  you can wrap condor_submit and condor_wait in a small script (condor_submit_sync) that first parses the submit file (given as an argument) for the "log = " line, then execs condor_submit <argument> then execs condor_wait <logfile>.

Cheers,

Andrew

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".
