Hi Steve,

Take a look at the WANT_HOLD documentation in condor: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.5/3_3Configuration.html#SECTION004310000000000000000


It has a good example of a startd policy for holding jobs.  You can
easily modify this to just preempt, or whatever policy you would
like.

I believe the startd evaluates these attributes much more frequently
than classad updates to schedd.


True.

FWIW, I updated the HOWTO on the wikie regarding How To Limit Memory Usage with the above wisdom. See
  https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/wiki?p=HowToLimitMemoryUsage

thanks
