Synopsis

Description

condor_release releases one or more jobs from the Condor job queue that were previously placed in hold state. If the -n option is specified, the named condor_schedd is targeted for processing. Otherwise, the local condor_schedd is targeted. The jobs to be released are identified by one or more job identifiers, as described below.

General Remarks

When releasing a held PVM universe job, you must release the entire job cluster. (In the PVM universe, each PVM job is assigned its own cluster number, and each machine class is assigned a ``process'' number in the job's cluster.) Releasing a subset of the machine classes for a PVM job is not supported.
