condor_q - HTCondor Manual
Display information about jobs in queue
SYNOPSIS
condor_q [-help [Universe | State] ]
condor_q [-debug ] [general options ] [restriction list ] [output options ] [analyze options ]
DESCRIPTION
condor_q displays information about jobs in the HTCondor job queue. By default, condor_q queries the
local job queue, but this behavior may be modified by specifying one of the general options.
As of version 8.5.2, condor_q defaults to querying only the current user's jobs. This default is
overridden when the restriction list has usernames and/or job ids, when the -submitter or -allusers
arguments are specified, or when the current user is a queue superuser. It can also be overridden by
setting the CONDOR_Q_ONLY_MY_JOBS configuration macro to False.
As of version 8.5.6, condor_q defaults to batch-mode output (see -batch in the Options section below).
The old behavior can be obtained by specifying -nobatch on the command line. To change the default back
to its pre-8.5.6 value, set the new configuration variable CONDOR_Q_DASH_BATCH_IS_DEFAULT to False.
BATCHES OF JOBS
As of version 8.5.6, condor_q defaults to displaying information about batches of jobs, rather than
individual jobs. The intention is that this will be a more useful, and user-friendly, format for users
with large numbers of jobs in the queue. Ideally, users will specify meaningful batch names for their
jobs, to make it easier to keep track of related jobs.
(For information about specifying batch names for your jobs, see the condor_submit and condor_submit_dag
manual pages.)
A batch of jobs is defined as follows:
• An entire workflow (a DAG or hierarchy of nested DAGs) (note that condor_dagman now specifies a default
batch name for all jobs in a given workflow)
• All jobs in a single cluster
• All jobs submitted by a single user that have the same executable specified in their submit file
(unless submitted with different batch names)
• All jobs submitted by a single user that have the same batch name specified in their submit file or on
the condor_submit or condor_submit_dag command line.
OUTPUT
There are many output options that modify the output generated by condor_q. The effects of these options,
and the meanings of the various output data, are described below.
Output options
If the -long option is specified, condor_q displays a long description of the queried jobs by printing
the entire job ClassAd for all jobs matching the restrictions, if any. Individual attributes of the job
ClassAd can be displayed by means of the -format option, which displays attributes with a printf(3)
format, or with the -autoformat option. Multiple -format options may be specified in the option list to
display several attributes of the job.
For most output options (except as specified), the last line of condor_q output contains a summary of the
queue: the total number of jobs, and the number of jobs in the completed, removed, idle, running, held
and suspended states.
If no output options are specified, condor_q now defaults to batch mode, and displays the following
columns of information, with one line of output per batch of jobs:
OWNER, BATCH_NAME, SUBMITTED, DONE, RUN, IDLE, [HOLD,] TOTAL, JOB_IDS
Note that the HOLD column is only shown if there are held jobs in the output or if there are no jobs in
the output.
If the -nobatch option is specified, condor_q displays the following columns of information, with one
line of output per job:
ID, OWNER, SUBMITTED, RUN_TIME, ST, PRI, SIZE, CMD
If the -dag option is specified (in conjunction with -nobatch), condor_q displays the following columns
of information, with one line of output per job; the owner is shown only for top-level jobs, and for all
other jobs (including sub-DAGs) the node name is shown:
ID, OWNER/NODENAME, SUBMITTED, RUN_TIME, ST, PRI, SIZE, CMD
If the -run option is specified (in conjunction with -nobatch), condor_q displays the following columns
of information, with one line of output per running job:
ID, OWNER, SUBMITTED, RUN_TIME, HOST(S)
Also note that the -run option disables output of the totals line.
If the -grid option is specified, condor_q displays the following columns of information, with one line
of output per job:
ID, OWNER, STATUS, GRID->MANAGER, HOST, GRID_JOB_ID
If the -grid:ec2 option is specified, condor_q displays the following columns of information, with one
line of output per job:
ID, OWNER, STATUS, INSTANCE ID, CMD
If the -goodput option is specified, condor_q displays the following columns of information, with one
line of output per job:
ID, OWNER, SUBMITTED, RUN_TIME, GOODPUT, CPU_UTIL, Mb/s
If the -io option is specified, condor_q displays the following columns of information, with one line of
output per job:
ID, OWNER, RUNS, ST, INPUT, OUTPUT, RATE, MISC
If the -cputime option is specified (in conjunction with -nobatch), condor_q displays the following
columns of information, with one line of output per job:
ID, OWNER, SUBMITTED, CPU_TIME, ST, PRI, SIZE, CMD
If the -hold option is specified, condor_q displays the following columns of information, with one line
of output per job:
ID, OWNER, HELD_SINCE, HOLD_REASON
If the -totals option is specified, condor_q displays only one line of output no matter how many jobs and
batches of jobs are in the queue. That line of output contains the total number of jobs, and the number
of jobs in the completed, removed, idle, running, held and suspended states.
Output data
The available output data are as follows:
ID (Non-batch mode only) The cluster/process id of the HTCondor job.
OWNER The owner of the job or batch of jobs.
OWNER/NODENAME
(-dag only) The owner of a job or the DAG node name of the job.
BATCH_NAME
(Batch mode only) The batch name of the job or batch of jobs.
SUBMITTED
The month, day, hour, and minute the job was submitted to the queue.
DONE (Batch mode only) The number of job procs that are done, but still in the queue.
RUN (Batch mode only) The number of job procs that are running.
IDLE (Batch mode only) The number of job procs that are in the queue but idle.
HOLD (Batch mode only) The number of job procs that are in the queue but held.
TOTAL (Batch mode only) The total number of job procs in the queue, unless the batch is a DAG, in
which case this is the total number of clusters in the queue. Note: for non-DAG batches, the
TOTAL column contains correct values only in version 8.5.7 and later.
JOB_IDS
(Batch mode only) The range of job IDs belonging to the batch.
RUN_TIME
(Non-batch mode only) Wall-clock time accumulated by the job currently running in days, hours,
minutes, and seconds. When the job is idle or held the jobs previous accumulated time will be
displayed.
ST (Non-batch mode only) Current status of the job, which varies somewhat according to the job
universe and the timing of updates. H = on hold, R = running, I = idle (waiting for a machine
to execute on), C = completed, X = removed, S = suspended (execution of a running job
temporarily suspended on execute node), < = transferring input (or queued to do so), and > =
transferring output (or queued to do so).
PRI (Non-batch mode only) User specified priority of the job, displayed as an integer, with higher
numbers corresponding to better priority.
SIZE (Non-batch mode only) The peak amount of memory in Mbytes consumed by the job; note this value
is only refreshed periodically. The actual value reported is taken from the job ClassAd
attribute MemoryUsage if this attribute is defined, and from job attribute ImageSize otherwise.
CMD (Non-batch mode only) The name of the executable. For EC2 jobs, this field is arbitrary.
HOST(S)
(-run only) The host where the job is running.
STATUS (-grid only) The state that HTCondor believes the job is in. Possible values are grid-type
specific, but include:
PENDING
The job is waiting for resources to become available in order to run.
ACTIVE The job has received resources, and the application is executing.
FAILED The job terminated before completion because of an error, user-triggered cancel, or
system-triggered cancel.
DONE The job completed successfully.
SUSPENDED
The job has been suspended. Resources which were allocated for this job may have
been released due to a scheduler-specific reason.
STAGE_IN
The job manager is staging in files, in order to run the job.
STAGE_OUT
The job manager is staging out files generated by the job.
UNKNOWN
Unknown
GRID->MANAGER
(-grid only) A guess at what remote batch system is running the job. It is a guess, because
HTCondor looks at the jobmanager contact string to attempt identification. If the value is
fork, the job is running on the remote host without a jobmanager. Values may also be condor,
lsf, or pbs.
HOST (-grid only) The host to which the job was submitted.
GRID_JOB_ID
(-grid only) (More information needed here.)
INSTANCE ID
(-grid:ec2 only) Usually EC2 instance ID; may be blank or the client token, depending on job
progress.
GOODPUT
(-goodput only) The percentage of RUN_TIME for this job which has been saved in a checkpoint. A
low GOODPUT value indicates that the job is failing to checkpoint. If a job has not yet
attempted a checkpoint, this column contains [?????].
CPU_UTIL
(-goodput only) The ratio of CPU_TIME to RUN_TIME for checkpointed work. A low CPU_UTIL
indicates that the job is not running efficiently, perhaps because it is I/O bound or because
the job requires more memory than available on the remote workstations. If the job has not
(yet) checkpointed, this column contains [??????].
Mb/s (-goodput only) The network usage of this job, in Megabits per second of run-time. READ The
total number of bytes the application has read from files and sockets. WRITE The total number
of bytes the application has written to files and sockets. SEEK The total number of seek
operations the application has performed on files. XPUT The effective throughput (average
bytes read and written per second) from the application's point of view. BUFSIZE The maximum
number of bytes to be buffered per file. BLOCKSIZE The desired block size for large data
transfers. These fields are updated when a job produces a checkpoint or completes. If a job has
not yet produced a checkpoint, this information is not available.
INPUT (-io only) BytesRecvd.
OUTPUT (-io only) BytesSent.
RATE (-io only) BytesRecvd+BytesSent.
MISC (-io only) JobUniverse.
CPU_TIME
(-cputime only) The remote CPU time accumulated by the job to date (which has been stored in a
checkpoint) in days, hours, minutes, and seconds. (If the job is currently running, time
accumulated during the current run is not shown. If the job has not produced a checkpoint, this
column contains 0+00:00:00.)
HELD_SINCE
(-hold only) Month, day, hour and minute at which the job was held.
HOLD_REASON
(-hold only) The hold reason for the job.
Analyze
The -analyze or -better-analyze options can be used to determine why certain jobs are not running by
performing an analysis on a per machine basis for each machine in the pool. The reasons can vary among
failed constraints, insufficient priority, resource owner preferences and prevention of preemption by the
PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS expression. If the analyze option -verbose is specified along with the -analyze
option, the reason for failure is displayed on a per machine basis. -better-analyze differs from -analyze
in that it will do matchmaking analysis on jobs even if they are currently running, or if the reason they
are not running is not due to matchmaking. -better-analyze also produces more thorough analysis of
complex Requirements and shows the values of relevant job ClassAd attributes. When only a single machine
is being analyzed via -machine or -mconstraint, the values of relevant attributes of the machine ClassAd
are also displayed.
RESTRICTIONS
To restrict the display to jobs of interest, a list of zero or more restriction options may be supplied.
Each restriction may be one of:
• cluster.process, which matches jobs which belong to the specified cluster and have the specified
process number;
• cluster (without a process), which matches all jobs belonging to the specified cluster;
• owner, which matches all jobs owned by the specified owner;
• -constraint expression, which matches all jobs that satisfy the specified ClassAd expression;
• -unmatchable expression, which matches all jobs that do not match any slot that would be considered by
-better-analyze ;
• -allusers, which overrides the default restriction of only matching jobs submitted by the current user.
If cluster or cluster.process is specified, and the job matching that restriction is a condor_dagman job,
information for all jobs of that DAG is displayed in batch mode (in non-batch mode, only the
condor_dagman job itself is displayed).
If no owner restrictions are present, the job matches the restriction list if it matches at least one
restriction in the list. If owner restrictions are present, the job matches the list if it matches one of
the owner restrictions and at least one non-owner restriction.
OPTIONS
-debug Causes debugging information to be sent to stderr, based on the value of the configuration
variable TOOL_DEBUG.
-batch (output option) Show a single line of progress information for a batch of jobs, where a batch
is defined as follows:
• An entire workflow (a DAG or hierarchy of nested DAGs)
• All jobs in a single cluster
• All jobs submitted by a single user that have the same executable specified in their submit
file
• All jobs submitted by a single user that have the same batch name specified in their submit
file or on the condor_submit or condor_submit_dag command line.
Also change the output columns as noted above.
Note that, as of version 8.5.6, -batch is the default, unless the
CONDOR_Q_DASH_BATCH_IS_DEFAULT configuration variable is set to False.
-nobatch
(output option) Show a line for each job (turn off the -batch option).
-global
(general option) Queries all job queues in the pool.
-submitter submitter
(general option) List jobs of a specific submitter in the entire pool, not just for a single
condor_schedd.
-name name
(general option) Query only the job queue of the named condor_schedd daemon.
-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]
(general option) Use the centralmanagerhostname as the central manager to locate condor_schedd
daemons. The default is the COLLECTOR_HOST, as specified in the configuration.
-jobads file
(general option) Display jobs from a list of ClassAds from a file, instead of the real ClassAds
from the condor_schedd daemon. This is most useful for debugging purposes. The ClassAds appear
as if condor_q -long is used with the header stripped out.
-userlog file
(general option) Display jobs, with job information coming from a job event log, instead of
from the real ClassAds from the condor_schedd daemon. This is most useful for automated testing
of the status of jobs known to be in the given job event log, because it reduces the load on
the condor_schedd. A job event log does not contain all of the job information, so some fields
in the normal output of condor_q will be blank.
-factory
(output option) Display information about late materialization job factories in the
condor_shedd.
-autocluster
(output option) Output condor_schedd daemon auto cluster information. For each auto cluster,
output the unique ID of the auto cluster along with the number of jobs in that auto cluster.
This option is intended to be used together with the -long option to output the ClassAds
representing auto clusters. The ClassAds can then be used to identify or classify the demand
for sets of machine resources, which will be useful in the on-demand creation of execute nodes
for glidein services.
-cputime
(output option) Instead of wall-clock allocation time (RUN_TIME), display remote CPU time
accumulated by the job to date in days, hours, minutes, and seconds. If the job is currently
running, time accumulated during the current run is not shown. Note that this option has no
effect unless used in conjunction with -nobatch.
-currentrun
(output option) If this option is specified, RUN_TIME displays the time accumulated so far on
this current run unless the job is in IDLE or HELD state then RUN_TIME will display the
previous runs time. Note that this is the base behavior and is not required, and this option
cannot be used in conjunction with -cumulative-time.
-cumulative-time
(output option) Normally, RUN_TIME contains the current or previous runs accumulated wall-clock
time. If this option is specified, RUN_TIME displays the accumulated time for the current run
plus all previous runs. Note that this option cannot be used in conjunction with -currentrun.
-dag (output option) Display DAG node jobs under their DAGMan instance. Child nodes are listed
using indentation to show the structure of the DAG. Note that this option has no effect unless
used in conjunction with -nobatch.
-expert
(output option) Display shorter error messages.
-grid (output option) Get information only about jobs submitted to grid resources.
-grid:ec2
(output option) Get information only about jobs submitted to grid resources and display it in a
format better-suited for EC2 than the default.
-goodput
(output option) Display job goodput statistics.
-help [Universe | State]
(output option) Print usage info, and, optionally, additionally print job universes or job
states.
-hold (output option) Get information about jobs in the hold state. Also displays the time the job
was placed into the hold state and the reason why the job was placed in the hold state.
-limit Number
(output option) Limit the number of items output to Number.
-io (output option) Display job input/output summaries.
-long (output option) Display entire job ClassAds in long format (one attribute per line).
-idle (output option) Get information about idle jobs. Note that this option implies -nobatch.
-run (output option) Get information about running jobs. Note that this option implies -nobatch.
-stream-results
(output option) Display results as jobs are fetched from the job queue rather than storing
results in memory until all jobs have been fetched. This can reduce memory consumption when
fetching large numbers of jobs, but if condor_q is paused while displaying results, this could
result in a timeout in communication with condor_schedd.
-totals
(output option) Display only the totals.
-version
(output option) Print the HTCondor version and exit.
-wide (output option) If this option is specified, and the command portion of the output would cause
the output to extend beyond 80 columns, display beyond the 80 columns.
-xml (output option) Display entire job ClassAds in XML format.
-json (output option) Display entire job ClassAds in JSON format.
-attributes Attr1[,Attr2 ...]
(output option) Explicitly list the attributes, by name in a comma separated list, which should
be displayed when using the -xml, -json or -long options. Limiting the number of attributes
increases the efficiency of the query.
-format fmt attr
(output option) Display attribute or expression attr in format fmt. To display the attribute or
expression the format must contain a single printf(3)-style conversion specifier. Attributes
must be from the job ClassAd. Expressions are ClassAd expressions and may refer to attributes
in the job ClassAd. If the attribute is not present in a given ClassAd and cannot be parsed as
an expression, then the format option will be silently skipped. %r prints the unevaluated, or
raw values. The conversion specifier must match the type of the attribute or expression. %s is
suitable for strings such as Owner, %d for integers such as ClusterId, and %f for floating
point numbers such as RemoteWallClockTime. %v identifies the type of the attribute, and then
prints the value in an appropriate format. %V identifies the type of the attribute, and then
prints the value in an appropriate format as it would appear in the -long format. As an
example, strings used with %V will have quote marks. An incorrect format will result in
undefined behavior. Do not use more than one conversion specifier in a given format. More than
one conversion specifier will result in undefined behavior. To output multiple attributes
repeat the -format option once for each desired attribute. Like printf(3) style formats, one
may include other text that will be reproduced directly. A format without any conversion
specifiers may be specified, but an attribute is still required. Include a backslash followed
by an 'n' to specify a line break.
-autoformat[:jlhVr,tng] attr1 [attr2 ...] or -af[:jlhVr,tng] attr1 [attr2 ...]
(output option) Display attribute(s) or expression(s) formatted in a default way according to
attribute types. This option takes an arbitrary number of attribute names as arguments, and
prints out their values, with a space between each value and a newline character after the last
value. It is like the -format option without format strings. This output option does not work
in conjunction with any of the options -run, -currentrun, -hold, -grid, -goodput, or -io.
It is assumed that no attribute names begin with a dash character, so that the next word that
begins with dash is the start of the next option. The autoformat option may be followed by a
colon character and formatting qualifiers to deviate the output formatting from the default:
j print the job ID as the first field,
l label each field,
h print column headings before the first line of output,
V use %V rather than %v for formatting (string values are quoted),
r print "raw", or unevaluated values,
, add a comma character after each field,
t add a tab character before each field instead of the default space character,
n add a newline character after each field,
g add a newline character between ClassAds, and suppress spaces before each field.
Use -af:h to get tabular values with headings.
Use -af:lrng to get -long equivalent format.
The newline and comma characters may not be used together. The l and h characters may not be
used together.
-print-format file
Read output formatting information from the given custom print format file. see Print Formats
for more information about custom print format files.
-analyze[:<qual>]
(analyze option) Perform a matchmaking analysis on why the requested jobs are not running.
First a simple analysis determines if the job is not running due to not being in a runnable
state. If the job is in a runnable state, then this option is equivalent to -better-analyze.
<qual> is a comma separated list containing one or more of
priority to consider user priority during the analysis
summary to show a one line summary for each job or machine
reverse to analyze machines, rather than jobs
-better-analyze[:<qual>]
(analyze option) Perform a more detailed matchmaking analysis to determine how many resources
are available to run the requested jobs. This option is never meaningful for Scheduler universe
jobs and only meaningful for grid universe jobs doing matchmaking. When this option is used in
conjunction with the -unmatchable option, The output will be a list of job ids that don't match
any of the available slots. <qual> is a comma separated list containing one or more of
priority to consider user priority during the analysis
summary to show a one line summary for each job or machine
reverse to analyze machines, rather than jobs
-machine name
(analyze option) When doing matchmaking analysis, analyze only machine ClassAds that have slot
or machine names that match the given name.
-mconstraint expression
(analyze option) When doing matchmaking analysis, match only machine ClassAds which match the
ClassAd expression constraint.
-slotads file
(analyze option) When doing matchmaking analysis, use the machine ClassAds from the file
instead of the ones from the condor_collector daemon. This is most useful for debugging
purposes. The ClassAds appear as if condor_status -long is used.
-userprios file
(analyze option) When doing matchmaking analysis with priority, read user priorities from the
file rather than the ones from the condor_negotiator daemon. This is most useful for debugging
purposes or to speed up analysis in situations where the condor_negotiator daemon is slow to
respond to condor_userprio requests. The file should be in the format produced by
condor_userprio -long.
-nouserprios
(analyze option) Do not consider user priority during the analysis.
-reverse-analyze
(analyze option) Analyze machine requirements against jobs.
-verbose
(analyze option) When doing analysis, show progress and include the names of specific machines
in the output.
GENERAL REMARKS
The default output from condor_q is formatted to be human readable, not script readable. In an effort to
make the output fit within 80 characters, values in some fields might be truncated. Furthermore, the
HTCondor Project can (and does) change the formatting of this default output as we see fit. Therefore,
any script that is attempting to parse data from condor_q is strongly encouraged to use the -format
option (described above, examples given below).
Although -analyze provides a very good first approximation, the analyzer cannot diagnose all possible
situations, because the analysis is based on instantaneous and local information. Therefore, there are
some situations such as when several submitters are contending for resources, or if the pool is rapidly
changing state which cannot be accurately diagnosed.
It is possible to hold jobs that are in the X state. To avoid this it is best to construct a -constraint
expression that option contains JobStatus != 3 if the user wishes to avoid this condition.
EXAMPLES
The -format option provides a way to specify both the job attributes and formatting of those attributes.
There must be only one conversion specification per -format option. As an example, to list only Jane
Doe's jobs in the queue, choosing to print and format only the owner of the job, the command line
arguments for the job, and the process ID of the job:
$ condor_q -submitter jdoe -format "%s" Owner -format " %s " Args -format " ProcId = %d\n" ProcId
jdoe 16386 2800 ProcId = 0
jdoe 16386 3000 ProcId = 1
jdoe 16386 3200 ProcId = 2
jdoe 16386 3400 ProcId = 3
jdoe 16386 3600 ProcId = 4
jdoe 16386 4200 ProcId = 7
To display only the JobID's of Jane Doe's jobs you can use the following.
$ condor_q -submitter jdoe -format "%d." ClusterId -format "%d\n" ProcId

An example with two independent DAGs in the queue:
$ condor_q
-- Schedd: wenger@manta.cs.wisc.edu : <128.105.14.228:35169?...
OWNER BATCH_NAME SUBMITTED DONE RUN IDLE TOTAL JOB_IDS
wenger DAG: 3696 2/12 11:55 _ 10 _ 10 3698.0 ... 3707.0
wenger DAG: 3697 2/12 11:55 1 1 1 10 3709.0 ... 3710.0
14 jobs; 0 completed, 0 removed, 1 idle, 13 running, 0 held, 0 suspended
Note that the "13 running" in the last line is two more than the total of the RUN column, because the two
condor_dagman jobs themselves are counted in the last line but not the RUN column.
Also note that the "completed" value in the last line does not correspond to the total of the DONE
column, because the "completed" value in the last line only counts jobs that are completed but still in
the queue, whereas the DONE column counts jobs that are no longer in the queue.
Here's an example with a held job, illustrating the addition of the HOLD column to the output:
$ condor_q
-- Schedd: wenger@manta.cs.wisc.edu : <128.105.14.228:9619?...
OWNER BATCH_NAME SUBMITTED DONE RUN IDLE HOLD TOTAL JOB_IDS
wenger CMD: /bin/slee 9/13 16:25 _ 3 _ 1 4 599.0 ...
4 jobs; 0 completed, 0 removed, 0 idle, 3 running, 1 held, 0 suspended
Here are some examples with a nested-DAG workflow in the queue, which is one of the most complicated
cases. The workflow consists of a top-level DAG with nodes NodeA and NodeB, each with two two-proc
clusters; and a sub-DAG SubZ with nodes NodeSA and NodeSB, each with two two-proc clusters.
First of all, non-batch mode with all of the node jobs in the queue:
$ condor_q -nobatch
-- Schedd: wenger@manta.cs.wisc.edu : <128.105.14.228:9619?...

Now non-batch mode with the -dag option (unfortunately, condor_q doesn't do a good job of grouping procs
in the same cluster together):

10 jobs; 0 completed, 0 removed, 0 idle, 10 running, 0 held, 0 suspended
Now, finally, the non-batch (default) mode:
$ condor_q
-- Schedd: wenger@manta.cs.wisc.edu : <128.105.14.228:9619?...
OWNER BATCH_NAME SUBMITTED DONE RUN IDLE TOTAL JOB_IDS
wenger ex1.dag+591 9/13 16:05 _ 8 _ 5 592.0 ... 596.1
10 jobs; 0 completed, 0 removed, 0 idle, 10 running, 0 held, 0 suspended
There are several things about this output that may be slightly confusing:
• The TOTAL column is less than the RUN column. This is because, for DAG node jobs, their contribution to
the TOTAL column is the number of clusters, not the number of procs (but their contribution to the RUN
column is the number of procs). So the four DAG nodes (8 procs) contribute 4, and the sub-DAG
contributes 1, to the TOTAL column. (But, somewhat confusingly, the sub-DAG job is not counted in the
RUN column.)
• The sum of the RUN and IDLE columns (8) is less than the 10 jobs listed in the totals line at the
bottom. This is because the top-level DAG and sub-DAG jobs are not counted in the RUN column, but they
are counted in the totals line.
Now here is non-batch mode after proc 0 of each node job has finished:

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