Re: [Condor-users] kbdd not working on windows server 2008



Mike,

 

Thank you for the response.  The problem Is that when a user logs on, jobs continue to run.  The machine never switches to “OWNER” status.  I can kill jobs by manually changing the KILL , PREEMPT, and SUSPEND variables.  If I set START=FALSE, then the condor_status lists the machine as unavailable (not ‘owner’).  So something isn’t working correctly, based on my experience with other machines in the pool.

 

Thanks,

 

Eric

Erik, sorry for diverging from your topic. I have a windows 2008 Standard server that runs Condor 7.6.1 as an execute node and the kbdd does run on this machine. Would you mind restating the problem, and I will see it I can duplicate it on our pool.

thanks,
mike

It seems like this thread has diverged from the original topic J.  Does anyone have any additional suggestions for troubleshooting the original issue?
 
Thanks,
 
Eric

Re: [Condor-users] kbdd not working on windows server 2008

 
During testing on a vanilla install of Condor I've seen updates not show up for quite some time.  I don't think the wakeup timer is set to 5 seconds, unless we have differing behavior for when the kbdd believes a system is idle and when it is in use.  The notification code in kbdd was present before we adapted it for use on Windows over two years ago, so am really hazy right now.  Again, will doublecheck behavior once in the office tomorrow.  That kbdd can do a better job than its current iteration is however becoming very evident.

Doesn't the condor_kbdd send an update to the condor_startd every 5 seconds?
That's certainly what appears to be happening according to the StartLog file
(I have replaced some IP numbers with * 's):

Running the command:
 
condor_status -l -direct machinename | findstr ConsoleIdle
 
continuously shows this as well as ConsoleIdle cycles from 0 up to 5 (0,1,2,3,4,5), then back
to 0 and cycles again, etc. when it is run from the computer "machinename".
 
Without the -direct option you are querying the Collector rather than machinename directly
so there can be a delay of up to UPDATE_INTERVAL (default 300s = 5 min).
However the startd will see activity and take the appropriate action (if any) quickly.
 
Cheers
 
Greg

Uh, of course it doesn't if it's running like it does under XP.  If it's running under the Condor service in the system session, it can't see keyboard activity.  Which is why we've been trying to get it to run in the user session on user login.  Even when running under the user session, it can be up to 5 minutes before the startd is updated about keyboard/mouse activity.
