Description

condor_userprio with no arguments, lists the active users (see below) along with their priorities, in increasing priority order. The -all option can be used to display more detailed information about each user, which includes the following columns:

Effective Priority

The effective priority value of the user, which is used to calculate the user's share when allocating resources. A lower value means a higher priority, and the minimum value (highest priority) is 0.5. The effective priority is calculated by multiplying the real priority by the priority factor.

Real Priority

The value of the real priority of the user. This value follows the user's resource usage.

Priority Factor

The system administrator can set this value for each user, thus controlling a user's effective priority relative to other users. This can be used to create different classes of users.

Res Used

The number of resources currently used (e.g. the number of running jobs for that user).

Accumulated Usage

The accumulated number of resource-hours used by the user since the usage start time.

Usage Start Time

The time since when usage has been recorded for the user. This time is set when a user job runs for the first time. It is reset to the present time when the usage for the user is reset (with the -resetusage or -resetall options).

Last Usage Time

The most recent time a resource usage has been recorded for the user.

The -usage option displays the username, accumulated usage, usage start time and last usage time for each user, sorted on accumulated usage.

The -setprio, -setfactor options are used to change a user's real priority and priority factor. The -setaccum option sets a user's accumulated usage. The -setbegin, -setlast options are used to change a user's begin usage time and last usage time. The -setaccum option sets a user's accumulated usage. The -resetusage and -resetall options are used to reset the accumulated usage for users. The usage start time is set to the current time when the accumulated usage is reset. These options require administrator privileges.

By default only users for whom usage was recorded in the last 24 hours or whose priority is greater than the minimum are listed. The -activefrom and -allusers options can be used to display users who had some usage since a specified date, or ever. The summary line for last usage time will show this date.

The -getreslist option is used to display the resources currently used by a user. The output includes the start time (the time the resource was allocated to the user), and the match time (how long has the resource been allocated to the user).

Note that when specifying user names on the command line, the name must include the UID domain (e.g. user@uid-domain - exactly the same way user names are listed by the userprio command).

The -pool option can be used to contact a different central-manager instead of the local one (the default).

For security purposes (authentication and authorization), this command requires an administrator's level of access. See section 3.6.1 on page  for further explanation.

Options

[-pool/SPAN>centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]] Contact specified centralmanagerhostname with an optional port number instead of the local central manager. This can be used to check other pools. NOTE: The host name (and optionally port) specified refer to the host name (and port) of the condor_negotiator to query for user priorities. This is slightly different than most Condor tools that support -pool, which expect the host name (and optionally port) of the condor_collector, instead.

[-all] Display detailed information about each user.

[-usage] Display usage information for each user.

[-setprio/SPAN>username value] Set the real priority of the specified user to the specified value.

[-setfactor/SPAN>username value] Set the priority factor of the specified user to the specified value.

[-setaccum/SPAN>username value] Set the accumulated usage of the specified user to the specified floating point value.

[-setbegin/SPAN>username value] Set the begin usage time of the specified user to the specified value.

[-setlast/SPAN>username value] Set the last usage time of the specified user to the specified value.

[-resetusage/SPAN>username] Reset the accumulated usage of the specified user to zero.

[-resetall] Reset the accumulated usage of all the users to zero.

[-delete/SPAN>username] Remove the specified username from Condor's accounting.

[-getreslist/SPAN>username] Display all the resources currently allocated to the specified user.

[-allusers] Display information for all the users who have some recorded accumulated usage.

[-activefrom/SPAN>month day year] Display information for users who have some recorded accumulated usage since the specified date.

[-l] Show the class-ad which was received from the central-manager in long format.

Exit Status

condor_userprio will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
