Re: [Condor-users] time spend in the queue

[Matthew Farrellee <matt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You can also play some tricks on -format and instead of:

	... -format "%s \n" JobStartDate

you could:

	... -format "%s" JobStartDate -format "\n" ClusterId

It works because ClusterId is always there. Of course, figuring out how 
to handle data points without a JobStartDate may lead you to simply 
filtering them out anyway.

Best,
