[Condor-users] Help going a little green

[Ian Cottam <ian.cottam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
 what mechanism do people recommend for detecting whether a Condor job 
is allocated and running (on a box running the 7.4 series on Linux/64)?
It needs to be a Linux-based script, fast and lightweight. I have a very 
slight concern that --if too heavy-- when it runs it could suspend the 
condor job and give a false reading.

The script will be scheduled to run via cron and will shutdown the Linux 
box if no one logged in and a Condor job not currently allocated.
Thanks
-Ian
ps: we will be investigating formal Condor-based green mechanisms in 
parallel with this more crude approach
