NAME

       condor_vacate - HTCondor Manual

       Vacate jobs that are running on the specified hosts

SYNOPSIS

       condor_vacate [-help | -version ]

       condor_vacate [-graceful | -fast ] [-debug ] [-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]] [ -name hostname
       | hostname | -addr "<a.b.c.d:port>" | "<a.b.c.d:port>" | -constraint expression | -all ]

DESCRIPTION

       condor_vacate  causes  HTCondor  force jobs to vacate from a given set of machines. The job(s) remains in
       the submitting machine's job queue.

       Given the (default) -graceful option, jobs are killed and HTCondor restarts the job  from  the  beginning
       somewhere else. condor_vacate has 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.

OPTIONS

          -help  Display usage information

          -version
                 Display version information

          -graceful
                 Give the job a change to shut down cleanly, then soft-kill it.

          -fast  Hard-kill jobs instead of giving them to shut down cleanly.

          -debug Causes debugging information to be sent to stderr, based on  the  value  of  the  configuration
                 variable TOOL_DEBUG.

          -pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]
                 Specify a pool by giving the central manager's host name and an optional port number

          -name hostname
                 Send the command to a machine identified by hostname

          hostname
                 Send the command to a machine identified by hostname

          -addr "<a.b.c.d:port>"
                 Send the command to a machine's master located at "<a.b.c.d:port>"

          "<a.b.c.d:port>"
                 Send the command to a machine located at "<a.b.c.d:port>"

          -constraint expression
                 Apply this command only to machines matching the given ClassAd expression

          -all   Send the command to all machines in the pool

EXIT STATUS

       condor_vacate  will  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_vacate command to a machine within a pool of machines other than the local  pool,  use
       the  -pool  option.  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 cae17 within the pool of  machines  that  has  condor.cae.wisc.edu  as  its
       central manager:

          $ condor_vacate -pool condor.cae.wisc.edu -name cae17
