Description

16       condor_vacatecauses HTCondor to checkpoint any running jobs on a set of
17       machines and force the jobs to vacate the machine. The  job(s)  remains
18       in the submitting machine's job queue.
19
20       Given  the  (default) -gracefuloption, 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_vacatehas no effect on a machine  with
26       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.

Examples

113       To send a condor_vacatecommand to two named machines:
114
115       % condor_vacate  robin cardinal
116
117       To send the condor_vacatecommand to a machine within a pool of machines
118       other than the local pool, use the -pooloption.  The  argument  is  the
119       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       cae17within the pool of machines  that  has  condor.cae.wisc.eduas  its
123       central manager:
124
125       % condor_vacate -pool condor.cae.wisc.edu -name cae17
