Re: [HTCondor-users] request_memory

Rita,

I don't believe there's any native mechanism for conditionally editing
job requirements after submission. What you could do is periodically
run a condor_qedit. A sample, yet really ugly bash script:

for job in `condor_q -const 'JobStatus==5' -format "%s." ClusterId
-format "%s\n" ProcID`; do
  req_mem=`condor_q $job -af RequestMemory`
  condor_qedit $job RequestMemory `echo "$req_mem * 3" | bc`
done


Note that this will run against all held jobs regardless of reason.
You can refine the constraint to better suit your environment.


Thanks,
BC
