Re: [HTCondor-users] StarterLog not available any more?

[Marco Mambelli <marcom@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Greg,
we collect job stats from the StarterLog: how many jobs started, completed, if they ended w/ exit code 0, not 0 or because of a signal.
Is it there a better way to get this?

We were already looking for StarterLog and StarterLog.slot* files, so I guess there should be no changes for us.
Did something in the format changed recently? Maybe the file is there but the parser (an awk script) is failing.
Without the log files I cannot really say what went wrong. I'll request more info.

Thank you,
Marco

There has always been a separate StarterLog for every slot in a startd, and one more StarterLog for the starter the startd runs for testing at startup.  As of 8.9.13, every StarterLog for starters that run jobs have the slot number suffix in the file name, and the testing StarterLog is called StarterLog.testing.  Previously, if there was only 1 slot in a Startd, the StarterLog for the slot was just called "StarterLog", with no slot suffix, and the testing StarterLog output was also written to this file.  Now, in the one slot case, the testing output is written to "StarterLog.testing", and the StarterLog for the job is written to "StarterLog.slot1".
