NAME

       condor_now - HTCondor Manual

       Start a job now.

SYNOPSIS

       condor_now -help

       condor_now [-name ] [-debug** ] now-job vacate-job [vacate-job+ ]

DESCRIPTION

       condor_now  tries  to run the now-job now. The vacate-job is immediately vacated; after it terminates, if
       the schedd still has the claim to the vacated job's slot  -  and  it  usually  will  -  the  schedd  will
       immediately start the now-job on that slot.

       If  you  specify  multiple  vacate-job s, each will be immediately vacated; after they all terminate, the
       schedd will try to coalesce their slots into a single, larger, slot and then use that  slot  to  run  the
       now-job.

       You must specify each job using both the cluster and proc IDs.

OPTIONS

          -help  Print a usage reminder.

          -debug Print    debugging   output.   Control   the   verbosity   with   the   environment   variables
                 _CONDOR_TOOL_DEBUG, as usual.

          -name **
                 Specify the scheduler('s name) and (optionally) the pool to find it in.

GENERAL REMARKS

       The now-job and the vacated-job must have the same owner; if you are not the queue super-user,  you  must
       own  both  jobs.  The jobs must be on the same schedd, and both jobs must be in the vanilla universe. The
       now-job must be idle and the vacated-job must be running.

EXAMPLES

       To begin running job 17.3 as soon as possible using job 4.2's slot:

          $ condor_now 17.3 4.2

       To try to figure out why that doesn't work for the 'magic' scheduler  in  the  'gandalf'  pool,  set  the
       environment variable _CONDOR_TOOL_DEBUG to 'D_FULLDEBUG' and then:

          $ condor_now -debug -schedd magic -pool gandalf 17.3 4.2

EXIT STATUS

       condor_now  will  exit  with  a  status value of 0 (zero) if the schedd accepts its request to vacate the
       vacate-job and start the now-job in its place. It does not wait for the now-job to have started running.
