# condor-watch
A lightweight, cron-compatible HTCondor job monitoring tool.
## Features
- Monitor one or multiple HTCondor job IDs
- Get email notifications on status changes
- Fully configurable via a single config file
- Works on CERN lxplus or any HTCondor user machine
- Relies solely on `msmtp` for outbound mail
- Cron-friendly and does not require root
## Configuration
Edit `condor-watch.conf` to specify:
- Job IDs to monitor
- Email settings (sender, receiver, subject)
- Notification level (on every check or only on changes)
## Email Delivery with `msmtp`
This tool **only supports** sending email via [`msmtp`](https://marlam.de/msmtp/), a lightweight SMTP relay tool.
### ✅ Step 1: Install `msmtp` locally
#### Option A: From Conda (preferred on lxplus)
```bash
conda install -c conda-forge msmtp
```
Make sure the installed binary is on your `$PATH`.
#### Option B: Manual build in `$HOME`
```bash
mkdir -p ~/opt/msmtp && cd ~/opt
wget https://marlam.de/msmtp/releases/msmtp-1.8.24.tar.xz
tar -xf msmtp-1.8.24.tar.xz && cd msmtp-1.8.24
./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/msmtp-install
make && make install
export PATH="$HOME/opt/msmtp-install/bin:$PATH"
```
### ✅ Step 2: Create a secure `.msmtprc`
```bash
cat > ~/.msmtprc <
