Name¶
condor_vacate Vacate - jobs that are running on the specified hosts
Synopsis¶
condor_vacate [-help -version]
condor_vacate[-graceful -fast] [-debug] [-pool
centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]] [-name hostnamehostname-addr
"<a.b.c.d:port>""<a.b.c.d:port>"-constraint
expression-all]
Description¶
condor_vacate causes HTCondor to checkpoint any running jobs on a set of
machines and force the jobs to vacate the machine. The job(s) remains in the
submitting machine's job queue.
Given the (default) -gracefuloption, a job running under the standard universe
will first produce a checkpoint and then the job will be killed. HTCondor will
then restart the job somewhere else, using the checkpoint to continue from
where it left off. A job running under the vanilla universe is killed, and
HTCondor restarts the job from the beginning somewhere else. condor_vacatehas
no effect on a machine with no HTCondor job currently running.
There is generally no need for the user or administrator to explicitly run
condor_vacate. HTCondor takes care of jobs in this way automatically following
the policies given in configuration files.

Exit Status¶
condor_vacatewill exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will
exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
Examples¶
To send a condor_vacate command to two named machines:
% condor_vacate robin cardinal
To send the condor_vacatecommand to a machine within a pool of machines other
than the local pool, use the -pooloption. The argument is the name of the
central manager for the pool. Note that one or more machines within the pool
must be specified as the targets for the command. This command sends the
command to a the single machine named cae17within the pool of machines that
has condor.cae.wisc.eduas its central manager:
% condor_vacate -pool condor.cae.wisc.edu -name cae17
