condor_wait(1) General Commands Manual condor_wait(1)

Name
condor_wait Wait - for jobs to finish

Synopsis
condor_wait [-help -version]

condor_wait[-debug] [-wait seconds] [-num number-of-jobs] log-file[job ID]

Description
condor_waitwatches a user log file (created with the logcommand within a submit description file) and returns when one or more jobs from
the log have completed or aborted.

Because condor_waitexpects to find at least one job submitted event in the log file, at least one job must have been successfully submitted
with condor_submitbefore condor_waitis executed.

condor_waitwill wait forever for jobs to finish, unless a shorter wait time is specified.

Options

-num number-of-jobs

Wait for the integer number-of-jobsjobs to end. The default is all jobs in the log file.

log file

The name of the log file to watch for information about the job.

job ID

A specific job or set of jobs to watch. If the job IDis only the job ClassAd attribute ClusterId , then condor_wait waits for all jobs
with the given ClusterId . If the job IDis a pair of the job ClassAd attributes, given by ClusterId . ProcId , then condor_wait waits
for the specific job with this job ID. If this option is not specified, all jobs that exist in the log file when condor_wait is invoked
will be watched.

General Remarks
condor_waitis an inexpensive way to test or wait for the completion of a job or a whole cluster, if you are trying to get a process outside
of Condor to synchronize with a job or set of jobs.

It can also be used to wait for the completion of a limited subset of jobs, via the -numoption.

Examples
condor_wait logfile

This command waits for all jobs that exist in logfile to complete.

condor_wait logfile 40

This command waits for all jobs that exist in logfile with a job ClassAd attribute ClusterId of 40 to complete.

condor_wait -num 2 logfile

This command waits for any two jobs that exist in logfile to complete.

condor_wait logfile 40.1

This command waits for job 40.1 that exists in logfile to complete.

condor_wait -wait 3600 logfile 40.1

This waits for job 40.1 to complete by watching logfile , but it will not wait more than one hour (3600 seconds).

Exit Status
condor_waitexits with 0 if and only if the specified job or jobs have completed or aborted. condor_waitreturns 1 if unrecoverable errors
occur, such as a missing log file, if the job does not exist in the log file, or the user-specified waiting time has expired.
