I was using the job log files to find completed jobs and do some post
processing on their output, stitching them together to save inodes. For a
quick fix I used dagman.out instead, but either way would work. Since I now
have a DAG with many single-process jobs anyway, I could simply insert
scheduler universe jobs every N nodes, problem solved.
One note on this -- for your postprocessing, I'd suggest using either a
node status file
(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.7/2_10DAGMan_Applications.html#SECTION0031010000000000000000)
or jobstate.log file
(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.7/2_10DAGMan_Applications.html#SECTION0031011000000000000000)
instead of the dagman.out file. Both the node status file and the
jobstate.log file have much simpler formats than the dagman.out file, and
the formats are less likely to change with in any future versions of
DAGMan. They are specifically designed to be easily machine-parseable,
while the dagman.out file is not.
Note that neither the node status file nor the jobstate.log file is
created by default -- you have to specify them in your DAG for them to get
created.
