Re: [HTCondor-users] disable preemption

[Ben Cotton <ben.cotton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you taken a look at the section in the manual?
http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/manual/v7.8/3_5Policy_Configuration.html#SECTION00459500000000000000

Specifically:

#Disable preemption by machine activity.
PREEMPT = False
#Disable preemption by user priority.
PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS = False
#Disable preemption by machine RANK by ranking all jobs equally.
RANK = 0
#Since we are disabling claim preemption, we
# may as well optimize negotiation for this case:
NEGOTIATOR_CONSIDER_PREEMPTION = False

There are several ways HTCondor may preempt a job, so you'll want to
make sure you cover all the bases.
