[Condor-users] Nodes blocked in 'Matched' state

["user790 user790" <user790@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

I am new to Condor. I installed it without problems on two different computers running Windows XP. I intend to use it to run uninstrumented jobs in the vanilla universe. To test it I therefore wrote a simple batch file as a job that would wait for 30 seconds then print out stuff. My submission file looks like this:

 

executable = foo.bat
universe  = vanilla
log       = foo.log
output    = foo.out.$(Process)
error     = foo.error.$(Process)
should_transfer_files = YES
when_to_transfer_output = ON_EXIT

queue 10

However, when submitting this, jobs remain idle. Unclaimed processors switch to "Matched" state for a minute or two, then switch back to unclaimed. I have read somewhere that this could happen when condor_store_cred add has not been run, but I have run it on both computers.

 

Any help deeply appreciated!

 

Thanks,

 

P.
