Re: [Condor-users] Avoid restarting of jobs

[Dan Bradley <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter,

What version of Condor are you using?  What job universe is being used 
for the jobs that are restarted?

In modern versions of Condor in vanilla universe, I would expect file 
permissions problems to cause jobs to go on hold by default rather than 
running again automatically.

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.

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.
