History File

When batch processing completes, Condor removes the cluster from the queue and records information about the processes in the history file. History is displayed for each process on a single line. Information provided includes the following:

  • ID - The cluster and process IDs of the job

  • OWNER - The owner of the job

  • SUBMITTED - The month, day, hour, and minute at which the job was submitted to the queue

  • CPU_USAGE - Remote user central processing unit (CPU) time accumulated by the job to date, in days, hours, minutes, and seconds

  • ST - Completion status of the job, where C is completed and X is removed

  • COMPLETED - Time at which the job was completed

  • CMD - Name of the executable

To view information about processes that you executed on the Condor system, type the command condor_history. For example:

> condor_history

Search through the history file for your process and cluster IDs to locate information about your jobs.

To view information about all completed processes in a cluster, type the command condor_history <cluster ID>. To view information about one process, type the command condor_history <cluster ID>.<process ID>. For example:

> condor_history 9
IDOWNER SUBMITTED RUN_TIME ST COMPLETED CMD
