Re: [HTCondor-users] Remove files when the job gets evicted or crashes

[Felix Wolfheimer <f.wolfheimer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Guess the hook mechanism is normally used to do such a cleanup. Hooks
are described in section 4.4 of the condor manual. However, in the 7.8
series there seems to be a problem with the HOOK_JOB_EXIT. I stumbled
upon this because I wanted to use this mechanism myself to do cleanup
tasks (even if jobs are aborted, put on hold etc.). If you also
experience the bug (see ticket 3669) you may try the patch I attached to
the ticket which helped in my case.

At the moment I store the list of lock files locally (not the locks themselves, just a text file with all lock file paths created by the job)  in the condor work directory of the executing machine.
