condor_submit_workers1

Usage

Overview

FCcondor_submit_workersFT schedules the execution of work_queue_worker(1) on a grid managed by Condor through its job submission interface, condor_submit. The number of work_queue_worker scheduled and run is given by the num-workers argument.

The servername and port arguments specify the hostname and port number of the manager for the work_queue_worker to connect. Alternatively, this information can be obtained from the catalog server by specifying the name of the work queue using the --manager-name parameter.

Submit 10 work_queue_worker instances to run on Condor in auto mode with their preferred project name set to Project_A and abort timeout set to 3600 seconds:

condor_submit_workers -a -t 3600 -M Project_A 10
