Re: [HTCondor-users] PERIODIC_HOLD is applied extremely infrequently

[Steven Timm <timm@xxxxxxxx>]

Turn your schedd debug higher and it will put into the SchedLog
when, if ever, the SYSTEM_PERIODIC_HOLD expression is applied.
I've seen things get messed up if a schedd gets very busy but
that was a long time ago.
