Dear all,

in the HTcondor configuration file on the machines, I found:

RunBenchmarks : (   ( (LastBenchmark == 0 ) || ($(BenchmarkTimer) >= (4 * $(HOUR))) ) && (TotalLoadAvg <= 0.05)  )

The semi-column seems weird, as it is the only place where such an affectation is done. Should not it been an = ?


You are correct, it indeed can (should?) be an equals ("=") sign.... the semi-colon is how the syntax used to be many years ago...

Moreover, should not RunBenchmarks be in Uppercases ?


Configuration knob names in HTCondor config files are case insensitive.  By convention, they are usually all upper-case, but the software does not care.
