Re: [Condor-users] Disabling the restarting of jobs

["Robert E. Parrott" <parrott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

By way of followup, these suggestions have produced the desired  
behavior.

For reference, by setting the class ad in the submit file:

+DoNotRestartJob = TRUE

the following expressions produce the desired behavior that vacated  
jobs do not subsequently restart, while all other jobs do restart as  
usual:

#-----------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Allow users to specifiy that they don't want jobs to restart,
#  Using a value "DoNotRestartJob = TRUE"
#
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
SHOULD_NOT_RESTART_TRIGGER = ( DoNotRestartJob =?= TRUE ) && \
                             ( $ (NumJobStarts) > 0     ) && \
                             ( $(JobStatus) == 1 )
APPEND_REQUIREMENTS = ( DoNotRestartJob =!= TRUE ) || ( NumJobStarts   
=?= 0 ) || ( NumJobStarts =?= Undefined )

SYSTEM_PERIODIC_HOLD = $(SYSTEM_PERIODIC_HOLD) || (  $ 
(SHOULD_NOT_RESTART_TRIGGER) )


Thanks again,
rob
