Hello people,

I've installed Condor v6.6.0 on a PC running Red Hat Linux 9. The vanilla test script works and 'condor_status' shows reasonable output, however 'condor_status -java' does not produce any output other than a newline and jobs submitted to the queue are held because a machine with "HasJava=True" cannot be found.

The configuration file condor_config contains the following Java settings:
JAVA = /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02/bin/java
JAVA_MAXHEAP_ARGUMENT = -Xmx
JAVA_CLASSPATH_DEFAULT = $(LIB) $(LIB)/scimark2lib.jar .
JAVA_CLASSPATH_ARGUMENT = -classpath
JAVA_CLASSPATH_SEPARATOR = :
JAVA_EXTRA_ARGUMENTS =

Definitely try everything Mark suggested.


Another possibility:

Does your machine have lots of RAM (more than a gig of RAM) ?

There is a known problem in cases where the physical RAM exceeds the Sun java max heap limitations.
Condor will append the maximum amount of system RAM to the java maxheap argument -- and sometimes this value is larger than the Sun jvm allows ( it depends on the platform, but according to the man page on x86 Linux I think the max value is 2000m, which means that if your machine Linux machine has 2 gigs or more RAM, you may encounter this problem). The end result is Condor thinks the jvm on your machine is faulty, and thus does not show up with "condor_status -java".


If you think this the problem, add the following into your condor_config[.local] as a workaround:

# First set JAVA_MAXHEAP_ARGUMENT to null, to disable the default of max RAM
JAVA_MAXHEAP_ARGUMENT =
# Now set the argument with our own value
JAVA_EXTRA_ARGUMENTS = -Xmx1906m


Hope this helps, regards, Todd
