change priority of jobs in the HTCondor queue
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
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.
condor_prio will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
