[HTCondor-users] hostname empty on node restart

[Yngve Inntjore Levinsen <yngve.levinsen@xxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

We have a few machines in our pool now, running either Ubuntu (various 
recent-ish versions) or CentOS 7. HT Condor is installed from 
repositories on all machines. Version 8.2.8 is installed on all nodes 
and the master (which runs CentOS 7).

When restarting (at least the Ubuntu machines, I forget if the CentOS 
machines still do this), the condor service is started on the nodes, but 
it seems that it is probably done too early. Hence if I run 
condor_status I get a list as attached, where for the restarted node I 
see slotN@ Instead of slotN@hostname

It seems that this is also hindering the slots from being used. The 
solution we currently use is to manually run a simple 'sudo service 
condor restart'. After that the hostname is shown correctly and 
everything works fine. It is a bit troublesome as the Ubuntu boxes are 
office computers which us 'condor admins' don't have sudo access to 
necessarily, so we have to ask the owners to run the commands.

Does anyone know why this happens?

Cheers,
Yngve
