Description

During the 20 years history of the Torque batch system at Nikhef, we constructed several command line tools providing various overviews of what was going on in the system. An example: a tool that could tell us "what are the 20 most recently started jobs?"

mrstarts | tail -20

With HTCondor we wanted the same kind of overviews. Much of this can be accomplished using the HTCondor "print formats" associated with the condor_q, condor_history, and condor_status commands. In this talk I'll present and discuss some examples, advantages and disadvantages of the approach, and along the way present some HTCondor mysteries we haven't solved.
