Any file? Explain please.

As far as system logs - you can control what gets logged normally with the syslog config file. Since you didn't put what your OS and version is, I can only guess that it's /etc/syslog.conf. This may or may not work in your situation since you put the statement 'generate some error to the system log or any file' which doesn't make sense (at least to me).

Quote:
then make the system crashed
You should allow processes to crash your system by allowing log files to be in a partition that could crash the server. Move your log files to a partiton where it will hang the process, not the server. Again, without knowing more information, that is all I can suggest.

Quote:
could suggest the way how can to prevent this problem ? eg. restrict the file size
Have you looked into disk quotas or if this is a core file, restricting building of core files (setting up core to a link to /dev/null will make it to users can't cause a core file to fill up their home directory, which in turn won't fill up / if that is how your server is set up.

Give more info on the file that is being made - post your OS and version - look into disk quota, syslog.conf, and/or link core to /dev/null.

condor_wait

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
       -help

	  Display usage information

       -version

	  Display version information

       -debug

	  Show extra debugging information.

       -wait seconds

	  Wait no more than the integer number of seconds. The default is unlimited time.

       -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.
