Re: [Condor-users] Retrieval of jobs estimated processing time

[Horvátth Szabolcs <szabolcs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Thomas,

You can use condor_chirp for updating the current job's classAd values 
(using the flag set_job_attr) or input a custom line into the job log 
(flag ulog).
We're using this method to update the progress in the monitor 
application and it works great.
(To make chirp work you have to set the WantIOProxy job attribute to true.)

Cheers,
Szabolcs

Does Condor offer any means to transport output information from a running batch process to another software (like our small front-end program) or a simple text file?
