22 condor_vacate_job finds one or more jobs from the HTCondor job queue
23 and vacates them from the host(s) where they are currently running. The
24 jobs remain in the job queue and return to the idle state.
25 A running job running will be sent a soft kill signal (SIGTERM by de‐
27 fault, or whatever is defined as the SoftKillSig in the job ClassAd),
28 and HTCondor will restart the job from the beginning somewhere else.
29 If the -fast option is used, the job(s) will be immediately killed.
31 If the -name option is specified, the named condor_schedd is targeted
33 for processing. If the -addr option is used, the condor_schedd at the
34 given address is targeted for processing. Otherwise, the local con‐
35 dor_schedd is targeted. The jobs to be vacated are identified by one or
36 more job identifiers, as described below. For any given job, only the
37 owner of the job or one of the queue super users (defined by the
38 QUEUE_SUPER_USERS macro) can vacate the job.
39 Using condor_vacate_job on jobs which are not currently running has no
41 effect.

76 Do not confuse condor_vacate_job with condor_vacate. condor_vacate is
77 given a list of hosts to vacate, regardless of what jobs happen to be
78 running on them. Only machine owners and administrators have permission
79 to use condor_vacate to evict jobs from a given host. condor_vacate_job
80 is given a list of job to vacate, regardless of which hosts they happen
81 to be running on. Only the owner of the jobs or queue super users have
82 permission to use condor_vacate_job.
83
85 To vacate job 23.0:
86 $ condor_vacate_job 23.0
88 To vacate all jobs of a user named Mary:
90 $ condor_vacate_job mary
92 To vacate all vanilla universe jobs owned by Mary:
94 $ condor_vacate_job -constraint 'JobUniverse == 5 && Owner == "mary"'
96 Note that the entire constraint, including the quotation marks, must be
98 enclosed in single quote marks for most shells.

101 condor_vacate_job will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon suc‐
102 cess, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
