Re: [HTCondor-users] DOS window flashing

[<Greg.Hitchen@xxxxxxxx>]

Any chance it could be due to condor_mail executing after each job completion?

If you have job notification set to send an email after each job completes
you could try turning it off and see if the behaviour continues.

Just thinking out aloud. :)

Cheers

Greg

I used master to refer to the manager, which is also the submit machine, not an execute machine in the cluster. I'm not setting USE_VISIBLE_DESKTOP, so I assume it is false. That setting controls the behavior on the execute machine and I want the default behavior, i.e., no visible window when the job is running. I don't see windows open and closing or flashing on the execute machines... but then again I don't log in as condor.

A DOS window flashes up on the submit (manager) machine when each job completes.

Thanks for the suggestion.
