Re: [HTCondor-users] BUMP Re: curl file transfer problem

[John M Knoeller <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The PID column will be empty when condor_who does not find a PID for that job id in the log of an active condor_starter.
This probably indicates that the slot is transferring data, so that the actual job is not currently running, but it can also
indicate the job (and starter) have exited, but the slot has not yet been updated to reflect that.

OK, thanks, what about the empty PID column:

...

I have an (almost) identical host where PID does show up, the output is
different, but these are not curl transfers

To me it looks like something gets lost when you fork out to plugin?
