Description

16       condor_vacate  causes  HTCondor to checkpoint any running jobs on a set
17       of machines and force the  jobs  to  vacate  the  machine.  The  job(s)
18       remains in the submitting machine's job queue.
19
20       Given  the (default) -graceful option, a job running under the standard
21       universe will first produce a checkpoint  and  then  the  job  will  be
22       killed.  HTCondor  will  then restart the job somewhere else, using the
23       checkpoint to continue from where it left off. A job running under  the
24       vanilla  universe  is  killed,  and  HTCondor restarts the job from the
25       beginning somewhere else.  condor_vacate has no  effect  on  a  machine
26       with no HTCondor job currently running.
27
28       There  is generally no need for the user or administrator to explicitly
29       run condor_vacate . HTCondor takes care of jobs in this  way  automati‐
30       cally following the policies given in configuration files.

110       and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.

Examples

113       To send a condor_vacate command to two named machines:
114
115       % condor_vacate  robin cardinal
116
117       To  send  the  condor_vacate  command  to  a  machine  within a pool of
118       machines other than the local pool, use the -pool option. The  argument
119       is  the name of the central manager for the pool. Note that one or more
120       machines within the pool must be specified as the targets for the  com‐
121       mand.  This  command  sends  the  command to a the single machine named
122       cae17 within the pool of machines that has condor.cae.wisc.edu  as  its
123       central manager:
124
125       % condor_vacate -pool condor.cae.wisc.edu -name cae17
