Confirm that the KeyboardIdle is correctly set. In particular, is the condor_kbdd working? Key cases to check:
- USB keyboard and mouse on Linux
- Windows Vista or later
To test on Linux:
- untar the appropriate version of Condor in a scratch directory of a machine that you have access to the keyboard and mouse (note: make sure that keyboard and mouse are USB)
- run './condor_install .' (note the trailing dot)
- source condor.sh (as instructed)
- edit the file at local.*/condor_config.local and add the following:
ALLOW_WRITE = * DAEMON_LIST = $(DAEMON_LIST), KDBB
- Run condor_master
- Give condor a few seconds to start up, and then run this shell script
while true; do sleep 10; condor_status -l -direct `hostname` | grep KeyboardIdle; done
- Poke at the keyboard and mouse (individually) and see if the timer resets. For the mouse the timer might stay at 4 but this is probably ok.
To test on Windows
Ask someone who has a windows machine (TJ?).
