My hosts have been returning quite a few errors recently with the "...Condor exited after XXXs without running a job..." message. I'm used to seeing these occasionally, but not so many as in the last couple of days. This is happening mostly on Theory and CMS tasks, but I've had a few on LHCb, too.

Seems like an uptick this afternoon in issues.

We're aware of it. Laurence is investigating, but I can't yet give a schedule for a solution.

I have noticed that the make_work_app daemon is marked as "Not Running" on the new LHC@home server status page at https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/server_status.php (which is a different page from the old LHC@home 1.0 server status page at http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/server_status.php). (Both server status pages list different daemons on different servers, so both are still useful for now.) Is this related to the problems people are having?

Yes, we had a problem that Laurence's cluster had stopped running CMS merge jobs (where the smaller 60 MB result files are merged into 2 GB files) so the queue filled up. He's now running merge jobs again and the bottleneck is gone.
