Re: [Condor-users] Condor scheduling

["David A. Kotz" <dkotz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ian,

Have you run "condor_q -better-analyze [job_id]" on one of the idle jobs 
to see if Condor can tell you why it's not running?  Are other users 
able to start jobs on all of the other machines?  Does condor_status 
list those machines as Unclaimed and Idle?
