Re: [condor-users] Can't Remove Jobs from the Queue

[Alexander Klyubin <A.Kljubin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I'm runnning Condor 6.5.5. Vanilla and Java universe jobs are affected. 
Sometimes the situation is as follows. A job is running on a machine. 
After some time I notice that the machine is Unclaimed or running 
another job, but according to condor_q the original job is still 
allegedly running on that machine. In this situation if I try to remove 
the job which isn't actually running I end up having it in this X state 
forever.

Sometimes I wonder if this situation arises because my central manager 
and collector is running a firewall. However, TCP/UDP ports 9614 and 
9618 are open as well as a big range of ports for shadows. The thing is 
that some machines disappear from condor_status for a while and then 
might come back. I could not find anything strange in the logs of those 
machines. Only the collector log of my central manager has lots of 
entries like Removing stale ad, Inserting ad, Removing stale ad, 
Inserting...

Regards,
Alexander Klyubin
