Re: [Condor-users] Start a job in the pool with delay

Is there a way (maybe a directive in the submit description or a condor command) to submit a job in the pool with time delay?

There is no really great way to achieve this on a cluster-of-jobs level. You could, however, set the job start delay for a scheduler in your pool such that no more than 1 job every 5 seconds is started by the scheduler. This would do it:

JOB_START_COUNT = 1
JOB_START_DELAY = 5

See http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.4/3_3Configuration.html#17277 for details on those two settings.

These are scheduler-specific, so if you have >1 scheduler you won't have quite the delay you're after. But stick to one scheduler and this provides the correct delay.
