[Condor-users] condor_restart and missing machines (enhancement request)

["Kewley, J \(John\)" <j.kewley@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I am currently still epxeriencing problems with the reports from Windows PCs
failing to arrive at the central manager. I suspect this problem will go away
when they are all upgraded from 6.6 to 6.8, but in the meantime have this 
request:

If you do 
  condor_restart -master -all
all machines in your pool are sent a message to restart (subject to HOSTALLOW
settings of course).

Note that this sends request to machines that aren't currently reporting in.

What I would like is to be able to say:
   condor_restart -master -MIA
which would restart all the ones which aren't currently reporting in (missing in action),
but leave the others alone.

Is there any other way at getting at this full list of machines?

I could do this myself if I had a 
  condor_MIA
command, but I can't see how to do this without storing the information myself.

Another alternative is of course to use TCP for the heartbeats to try and prevent this.

Cheers

JK
