Re: [Condor-users] Avoid restarting of jobs

[Michael Di Domenico <mdidomenico4@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but we're seeing this behavior with
our jobs and file permissions.  They do infact go into HOLD state,
which is not what I want.

Is there a method to forcibly remove the job from the queue when a
permissions problem hits?  (specifically we've had issues were the
standard output file gets a perms problem)
