I'd like to do the same. Can you give the code yu used to  set up
STARTD_ATTRS for IsWeekday, IsDaytime, and IsBusinessHours? Thanks.


The HTCondor Manual has a section under "condor_startd policy configuration" that is called "Examples of Policy Configuration". See URL https://is.gd/yjxTw1

The examples in this section include a "Time of Day Policy" which you may find helpful. Or if you don't find it helpful, please make some suggestions on how we could improve that part of the manual for the next person. :)

thanks and regards,
Todd

Be sure to double-check your system time zone – if you have your

the time of year.

I set up STARTD_ATTRS for IsWeekday, IsDaytime, IsBusinessHours, and
their opposites, which allows the users to reference them in their
submit descriptions, and helps simplify the syntax a bit:
IsBusinessHours = ( IsDaytime && IsWeekday), and IsAfterHours = (
IsNighttime || IsWeekend ).

In addition, if you don’t have preemption configured, then a job which
starts at 6:59am will continue to run to completion, and if it runs
for three hours, it will still be running at 9:30pm.
