Re: [Condor-users] Avoid restarting of jobs

[Peter Ellevseth <Peter.Ellevseth@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
We have had som issues with user permissions of shadow exceptions, due to that sometimes cooperate on jobs and have multiple people owning files for a job. Then when the job exited it did not have permissions to write one or moe of the files and it restarted. For our users it would look like the job was running, while in fact it had restarted several times. It would have been a lot easier if the job had stopped after crashing once.

The log file would usually say something like "Shadow exception.....Job resubmitted". This would vary a little as we were a couple errors, mostly related to permissions.

Hi,

What do you mean "something happens to the job". Could you give an example?

What is in your user log file?
log = bigJob.log

Condor will place a log entry into this file when and where the job begins running or moves (migrates)  to another machine ...
If no log entry is specified, Condor does not create a log for this cluster.

Regards,
Lukas

This is very unpractical as the previous results will then be overwritten. Is there a way to force condor not to restart the jobs? It would be preferable to us if the job exits instead of restarting.
