condor_prio

change priority of jobs in the HTCondor queue

Synopsis

condor_prio -p priority | value | value [-n  schedd_name] cluster | cluster.process | username | -a

condor_prio -p priority | value | value [-pool pool_name -n schedd_name ]cluster | cluster.process | username | -a

Description

condor_prio changes the priority of one or more jobs in the HTCondor queue. If the job identification is given by cluster.process, condor_prio attempts to change the priority of the single job with job ClassAd attributes ClusterId and ProcId. If described by cluster, condor_prio attempts to change the priority of all processes with the given ClusterId job ClassAd attribute. If username is specified, condor_prio attempts to change priority of all jobs belonging to that user. For -a, condor_prio attempts to change priority of all jobs in the queue.

The user must set a new priority with the -p option, or specify a priority adjustment. The priority of a job can be any integer, with higher numbers corresponding to greater priority. For adjustment of the current priority, value increases the priority by the amount given with value. value decreases the priority by the amount given with value.

Only the owner of a job or the super user can change the priority.

The priority changed by condor_prio is only used when comparing to the priority jobs owned by the same user and submitted from the same machine.

Options

-n schedd_name
Change priority of jobs queued at the specified condor_schedd in the local pool.
-pool pool_name -n schedd_name
Change priority of jobs queued at the specified condor_schedd in the specified pool.

Exit Status

condor_prio will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
