Re: [HTCondor-users] condor_q SECMAN:2007:Failed to end classad message

I did some surface level searching and haven't found much. I will have to dig some more for a concrete answer or someone else will have a solid answer. But going out on a limb I wonder if doing $ sudo systemctl restart condor is somehow disrupting the communications of things and making this error. Maybe try using condor_off & condor_on to restart the system instead and then try condor_q to see if the issue still occurs. 

Best,

Subject: [HTCondor-users] condor_q SECMAN:2007:Failed to end classad message

 

I recently upgraded HTCondor from v8.6.10 to v9.10.0. Since upgrading, I have encountered this error:

```

$ sudo systemctl restart condor

$ condor_q

SECMAN:2007:Failed to end classad message

```

I found this answer from 14 years ago: 

https://lists.cs.wisc.edu/archive/htcondor-users/2008-March/msg00178.shtml and this follow-up question from 4 years ago: https://lists.cs.wisc.edu/archive/htcondor-users/2018-September/msg00095.shtml

After deleting `CONDO_LOCAL_DIR/spool/job_queue.log`, I was able to get `condor_q` working again. I never had this problem with v8.6.10 but I have encountered it several times with v9.10.0.

I'd like to understand what is causing this problem and if there's a better solution now than removing the `job_queue.log` file.

Thanks,

Curtis
