[condor-users] New administrator questions

[Mike Box <mbox-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Phew!  There's a lot of control issues and parameters to understand!

I recently created a Condor cluster of Unix computers whose primary purpose
is to support an instructional classroom environment.  How do I configure
Condor to favor the class times without adversely affecting the running
job(s)?  I really want to avoid defining time-of-day windows to allow or
prohibit processing.  I'm sure that there's got to be a more flexible
approach.

Also, similar to the above situation, there is nightly administrative
processing that causes the running job to be evicted from one computer to
another.  Due to the schedule / timing of these administrative events, tests
showed the job "bouncing" among computers with little or any real work being
accomplished.  How can I configure Condor to recognize such processing and
react more favorably?

Thanks, in advance, for your help and guidance.
