condor_vacate

Vacate jobs that are running on the specified hosts

Synopsis

condor_vacate [-help | -version] [-graceful | -fast] [-pool centralmanagerhostname | -name hostname | -addr "<a.b.c.d:port>" | hostname ...]

   

Description

condor_vacate causes the condor startd to checkpoint any running jobs and make them vacate the machine. The job remains in the submitting machine's job queue, however.

If the job on the specified host is running in the Standard Universe, then the job is first checkpointed and then killed (and will then restart somewhere else where it left off). If the job on the specified host is running in the Vanilla Universe, then the job is not checkpointed but is simply killed (and will then restart somewhere else from the beginning). If there is currently no Condor job running on that host, then condor_vacate has no effect. Normally there is no need for the user or administrator to explicitly run condor_vacate. Vacating a running condor job off of a machine is handled automatically by Condor by following the policies stated in Condor's configuration files.
