Turn Off History

It may be a challenge to get your users to read the Condor manual, so you can give them information via the MOTD and the fortune program.

If you do not know how to create a fortune file, a nice tutorial may be found here.

Below is the necessary data to put into your text file. Another good idea is to pull this information from the wiki in a cron job. 

Condor Tip #1:

To see which machines are willing to run jobs now, run:

condor_status -available
%
Condor Tip #2:

To see which machines are currently running jobs, run:

condor_status -run
%
Condor Tip #3:

To list the machine ClassAds for all machines in the pool, run:

condor_status -l
%
Condor Tip #4:

You can allow your job to prefer machines with particular attributes
by adding a 'Rank' command and expression to your submit file.
%
Condor Tip #5:

If your standard universe job does not need remote I/O, you may turn
it off by adding the following to your submit file:

want_remote_io = False
%
Condor Tip #6:

If you'd like to check on your job while it is running, run:

condor_ssh_to_job <job number>
%
Condor Tip #7:

If you'd like to use system environment variables in your submit file,
you may specify them using the following:

$ENV{EnvironmentVariableName}
%
Condor Tip #8:

If you'd like to use Machine Ad attributes in your submit file so that
you can change behavior based on the machine that will execute your
job, use the Machine Ad substitution macro:

$${MachineAdAttribute}
