Description

15       condor_nowtries to run the  now-jobnow.  The  vacate-jobis  immediately
16       vacated;  after it terminates, if the schedd still has the claim to the
17       vacated job's slot – and it usually will – the schedd  will
18       immediately start the now-job on that slot.
19
20       You must specify each job using both the cluster and proc IDs.

General Remarks

44       The  now-job  and  the vacated-job must have the same owner; if you are
45       not the queue super-user, you must own both jobs. The jobs must  be  on
46       the  same  schedd,  and  both jobs must be in the vanilla universe. The
47       now-job must be idle and the vacated-job must be running.

Examples

50       To begin running job 17.3 as soon as possible using job 4.2's slot:
51
52         condor_now 17.3 4.2
53
54       To try to figure out why that doesn't work for the `magic' scheduler in
55       the  'gandalf' pool, set the environment variable _CONDOR_TOOL_DEBUG to
56       `D_FULLDEBUG' and then:
57
58         condor_now -debug -schedd magic -pool gandalf 17.3 4.2
59

Exit Status

61       condor_nowwill exit with a status value  of  0  (zero)  if  the  schedd
62       accepts  its  request to vacate the vacate-job and start the now-job in
63       its place. It does notwait for the now-job to have started running.
