condor_prio — HTCondor Manual

change priority of jobs in the HTCondor queue
 

condor_prio -p priority | +value | -value [-n schedd_name] [username | ClusterId ]

condor_prio changes the priority of one or more jobs in the HTCondor queue. If the job identification is given by cluster.process, condor_prio attempts to change the priority of the single job with job ClassAd attributes ClusterId and ProcId. If described by cluster, condor_prio attempts to change the priority of all processes with the given ClusterId job ClassAd attribute. If username is specified, condor_prio attempts to change priority of all jobs belonging to that user. For -a, condor_prio attempts to change priority of all jobs in the queue.

The user must set a new priority with the -p option, or specify a priority adjustment.

The priority of a job can be any integer, with higher numbers corresponding to greater priority. For adjustment of the current priority, +value increases the priority by the amount given with value. -value decreases the priority by the amount given with value.

Only the owner of a job or the super user can change the priority.

The priority changed by condor_prio is only used when comparing to the priority jobs owned by the same user and submitted from the same machine.

-n schedd_name
