Description

condor_ submit_dag is the program for submitting a DAG (directed acyclic graph) of jobs for execution under Condor. The program enforces the job dependencies defined in the DAGInputFile. The DAGInputFile contains commands to direct the submission of jobs implied by the nodes of a DAG to Condor. See the Condor User Manual, section 2.11 for a complete description.

Options

-no_submit

Produce the Condor submit description file for DAGMan, but do not submit DAGMan as a Condor job.

-verbose

Give verbose error messages.

-force

Require condor_ submit_dag to overwrite the files that it produces, if the files already exist.

-maxjobs NumberOfJobs

Sets the maximum number of jobs within the DAG that will be submitted to Condor at one time. NumberOfJobs is a positive integer. If the option is omitted, the default number of jobs is unlimited.

-dagman DagmanExecutable

Allows the specification of an alternate condor_ dagman executable to be used instead of the one found in the user's path. This must be a fully qualified path.

-maxpre NumberOfPREscripts

Sets the maximum number of PRE scripts within the DAG that may be running at one time. NumberOfPREScripts is a positive integer. If this option is omitted, the default number of PRE scripts is unlimited.

-maxpost NumberOfPOSTscripts

Sets the maximum number of POST scripts within the DAG that may be running at one time. NumberOfPOSTScripts is a positive integer. If this option is omitted, the default number of POST scripts is unlimited.

-nopostfail

An option applied to all nodes within the DAG that prevents the POST script within a node from running in the case that the job within the node fails. Without this option, POST scripts always run when jobs fail.

-log LogFileName

Forces condor_ submit_dag to omit the check of Condor submit description files for nodes within the DAG to verify that they all use the same log file. The argument LogFileName is used as the single, common log file.

-notification value

Sets the e-mail notification for DAGMan itself. This information will be used within the Condor submit description file for DAGMan. This file is produced by condor_ submit_dag. See notification within the section of submit description file commands in the condor_ submit manual page on page  for specification of value.

-noeventchecks

This optional argument turns off checking for "bad" events in condor_ dagman. (Normally condor_ dagman checks for certain combinations of events that shouldn't happen and aborts if it sees such a combination of events.)

-allowlogerror

This optional argument has condor_ dagman try to run the specified DAG, even in the case of detected errors in the user log specification.

-r schedd_name

Submit to a remote schedd. The jobs will be submitted to the schedd on the specified remote host. On Unix systems, the Condor administrator for you site must override the default AUTHENTICATION_METHODS configuration setting to enable remote file system (FS_REMOTE) authentication.

-debug level

Passes the the level of debugging output desired to condor_ dagman. level is an integer, with values of 0-7 inclusive, where 7 is the most verbose output. A default value of 3 is passed to condor_ dagman when not specified with this option.
