Getting started: Installing a single node Condor pool

Install the condor package.

[root@eeyore ~]# yum -y install condor

You’ll get classads and gsoap as well.

Start Condor.

[root@eeyore ~]# service condor start
Starting Condor daemons:                                   [  OK  ]

Take a look at your new Personal Condor setup.

[root@eeyore ~]# condor_q

0 jobs; 0 idle, 0 running, 0 held

[root@eeyore ~]# condor_status

Test it out with a job, as yourself.

Write a job submit file.

09:22:46am> eeyore:~ $ cat > first.job
cmd = /bin/cat
args = /proc/self/status
output = first.job.$(cluster).$(process).out
error = first.job.$(cluster).$(process).err
log = first.job.log
queue 3
^D

Submit your job.

09:24:23am> eeyore:~ $ condor_submit first.job
Submitting job(s)...
Logging submit event(s)...
3 job(s) submitted to cluster 1.

Check the queue for your jobs.

09:24:39am> eeyore:~ $ condor_q

-- Submitter: localhost.localdomain :  : localhost.localdomain
 ID      OWNER            SUBMITTED     RUN_TIME ST PRI SIZE CMD

3 jobs; 3 idle, 0 running, 0 held

(Write a little in your blog and miss the jobs running.)

09:24:47am> eeyore:~ $ condor_q
-- Submitter: localhost.localdomain :  : localhost.localdomain
 ID      OWNER            SUBMITTED     RUN_TIME ST PRI SIZE CMD               

0 jobs; 0 idle, 0 running, 0 held

Check the output.

09:25:01am> eeyore:~ $ l first.job*

The jobs can be found in the queue’s history.

09:28:59am> eeyore:~ $ condor_history

It is just that simple.
