Re: [Condor-users] Howto make vanilla universive only run serial jobs and don't suspend any jobs on one-machine Condor?

[dawnsong <dawnsong.tsinghua@xxxxxxxxx>]

I changed 
SUSPEND_VANILLA = FALSE

but it stilled failed to suspend vanilla jobs and I have no idea of howto tune it.

However, after I set

MAX_JOBS_RUNNING = 4,

then Condor queue worked as I wanted.

This makes Condor only run 4 jobs and the other jobs would wait in the queue.

Thanks.

You should change the SUSPEND policy in the configuration.

If you just want your jobs to run once they've started, try looking for
SUSPEND = False.

Best,
