Condor Job on Hold

How to get the output:

condor_q| awk '/ H / {print $1}'|xargs -n 1 condor_q -long | grep HoldReason

Error: Failed to open file

Error Message

Error from starter on slot?@n???.atlas.local: Failed to open '/home/user/path/to/file' as standard output: No such file or directory (errno 2)

Investigation

On the node we found this error message in /var/log/syslog:

Jun 25 17:59:26 n0036 automount[1560]: >> Cannot create link /etc/mtab~
Jun 25 17:59:26 n0036 automount[1560]: >> Perhaps there is a stale lock file?
Jun 25 17:59:26 n0036 automount[1560]: failed to mount autofs path /home
Jun 25 17:59:26 n0036 automount[1560]: /home: mount failed!

Maybe there was a stale file around, but when checking it was not there.

Cure

/etc/init.d/autofs reload

State

unresolved since the initial cause is still unknown
