</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">
<div>
<div>
<div>I am seeing a transient failure in condor jobs dependencies. The sentinel jobs created by condor_qsub are releasing dependencies early in some cases. I adding logging to the sentinel job scripts and can see the count of "hold_jids" returned by the following
line drop dramatically to zero</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> condor_q -long -attributes Owner \$hold_jids | grep "$USER" | wc –l</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The sentinel job then releases the held job and exits. As the count of hold_jids is in reality non-zero, those jobs proceed to normal completion, but out of sequence. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In most of my tests the hold is released at the correct time. Has anyone seen transient failures on condor_q that might cause this? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In my configuration the submit node is the head node and also a worker node. Is it possible the server is too busy to make a timely response so the client gives up? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks, </div>
