[HTCondor-users] condor_userprio issues

[Jon Bernard <jonbernard@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

We've been having some issues with condor_userprio for the past couple of months.

On the first of every month, we do "condor_userprio -resetall", and thereafter we dump the usage every hour with "condor_userprio -all --allusers". Here's the usage for user jones for today:

As you can see, the total usage cycles up and down, depending on the start date.

Is there a simple way to fix this for all users?

I've tried condor_userprio -setbegin $(date -d $(date '+%Y-%m-01') '+%s'), and that seems to eventually set the start date for the user to 8/01/2017 (although sometimes I need to do it multiple times before it has an effect). Is that the way to fix this? Or does it not do what I think it does (i.e., cause condor_userprio to only count usage since the start date)?

Thanks,

Jon
