SYNOPSIS

12       condor_now -help
13
14       condor_now [-name] [-debug] now-job vacate-job
15

DESCRIPTION

17       condor_now  tries to run the now-job now. The vacate-job is immediately
18       vacated; after it terminates, if the schedd still has the claim to  the
19       vacated  job's slot - and it usually will - the schedd will immediately
20       start the now-job on that slot.
21
22       You must specify each job using both the cluster and proc IDs.
23

OPTIONS

25          -help  Print a usage reminder.
26
27          -debug Print debugging output. Control the verbosity with the  envi‐
28                 ronment variables _CONDOR_TOOL_DEBUG, as usual.
29
30          -name **
31                 Specify  the  scheduler('s name) and (optionally) the pool to
32                 find it in.
33

GENERAL REMARKS

35       The now-job and the vacated-job must have the same owner;  if  you  are
36       not  the  queue super-user, you must own both jobs. The jobs must be on
37       the same schedd, and both jobs must be in  the  vanilla  universe.  The
38       now-job must be idle and the vacated-job must be running.
39

EXAMPLES

41       To begin running job 17.3 as soon as possible using job 4.2's slot:
42
43          condor_now 17.3 4.2
44
45       To try to figure out why that doesn't work for the 'magic' scheduler in
46       the 'gandalf' pool, set the environment variable _CONDOR_TOOL_DEBUG  to
47       'D_FULLDEBUG' and then:
48
49          condor_now -debug -schedd magic -pool gandalf 17.3 4.2
50

EXIT STATUS

52       condor_now  will  exit  with  a  status value of 0 (zero) if the schedd
53       accepts its request to vacate the vacate-job and start the  now-job  in
54       its place. It does not wait for the now-job to have started running.
