condor_prio
Change priority of jobs in the HTCondor queue.
Synopsis
condor_prio -p priority | +***value* | **-***value* [-n** schedd-name] [-pool pool-name] [-a | cluster | cluster.proc | username]
Description
condor_prio changes the priority of one or more jobs in the HTCondor queue. If the job identification is given by cluster.proc, condor_prio attempts to change the priority of the single job with job ClassAd attributes ClusterId and ProcId. If described by cluster, condor_prio attempts to change the priority of all processes with the given ClusterId job ClassAd attribute. If username is specified, condor_prio attempts to change priority of all jobs belonging to that user. For -a, condor_prio attempts to change priority of all jobs in the queue.
The user must set a new priority with the -p option, or specify a priority adjustment using +value or -value.
The priority of a job can be any integer, with higher numbers corresponding to greater priority. For adjustment of the current priority, +value increases the priority by the amount given with value. -value decreases the priority by the amount given with value.
Only the owner of a job or the super user can change the priority.
The priority changed by condor_prio is only used when comparing to the priority of jobs owned by the same user and submitted from the same machine.
