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

John,
 I'm sure I've seen this behaviour too (Windows machines not reporting 
in), as, sometimes, condor_q -g shows more jobs running than 
condor_status does. Not sure what to do about it. I have just taken the 
view of trying to grow our pool -- and those we can flock to -- so some 
"drop outs" don't matter so much.
