Hi Ian,

I did a plain 'condor_reconfig' when I was testing yesterday. Today I
tried condor_reconfig -full -schedd, with the same result.

Adding PERIODIC_REMOVE to the job submission script did work. I'd
rather use SYSTEM_PERIODIC_REMOVE because these jobs are submitted
through globus gatekeeper, so if I want to add things to the submission
scripts I have to patch that. I'll tinker with the SYTEM_ version some
more, and if that continues to not work I'll bite the bullet and patch
globus.

Occasionally you'll encounter settings in Condor that require a restart to take effect. I didn't think this was one of them, but perhaps. Try:

condor_restart -fast -schedd

Brute force, but it should take after that. You can confirm the scheduler is seeing the setting with:

condor_config_val -verbose -schedd SYSTEM_PERIODIC_REMOVE

Regards,

- Ian
