SYNOPSIS

12       condor_now -help
13
14       condor_now [-name ] [-debug** ] now-job vacate-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       If you specify multiple vacate-job s, each will be immediately vacated;
23       after  they  all terminate, the schedd will try to coalesce their slots
24       into a single, larger, slot and then use that slot to run the now-job.
25
26       You must specify each job using both the cluster and proc IDs.
27

OPTIONS

29          -help  Print a usage reminder.
30
31          -debug Print debugging output. Control the verbosity with the  envi‐
32                 ronment variables _CONDOR_TOOL_DEBUG, as usual.
33
34          -name **
35                 Specify  the  scheduler('s name) and (optionally) the pool to
36                 find it in.
37

GENERAL REMARKS

39       The now-job and the vacated-job must have the same owner;  if  you  are
40       not  the  queue super-user, you must own both jobs. The jobs must be on
41       the same schedd, and both jobs must be in  the  vanilla  universe.  The
42       now-job must be idle and the vacated-job must be running.
43

EXAMPLES

45       To begin running job 17.3 as soon as possible using job 4.2's slot:
46
47          $ condor_now 17.3 4.2
48
49       To try to figure out why that doesn't work for the 'magic' scheduler in
50       the 'gandalf' pool, set the environment variable _CONDOR_TOOL_DEBUG  to
51       'D_FULLDEBUG' and then:
52
53          $ condor_now -debug -schedd magic -pool gandalf 17.3 4.2
54

EXIT STATUS

56       condor_now  will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) if the schedd ac‐
57       cepts its request to vacate the vacate-job and start the now-job in its
58       place. It does not wait for the now-job to have started running.
