Description

       condor_checkpoint  sends  a  checkpoint  command  to  a set of machines
       within a single pool. This causes the startd  daemon  on  each  of  the
       specified  machines  to  take  a  checkpoint of any running job that is
       executing under the standard universe. The job is temporarily  stopped,
       a  checkpoint  is  taken,  and then the job continues. If no machine is
       specified, then the command is sent to  the  machine  that  issued  the
       condor_checkpoint command.

       The  command  sent  is  a  periodic  checkpoint.  The  job  will take a
       checkpoint, but then the job will immediately  continue  running  after
       the  checkpoint  is completed.  condor_vacate , on the other hand, will
       result in the job exiting (vacating) after it produces a checkpoint.

       If the job being checkpointed is running under the  standard  universe,
       the  job  produces  a checkpoint and then continues running on the same
       machine. If the job is running under another universe, or if  there  is
       currently  no  Condor  job running on that host, then condor_checkpoint
       has no effect.

       There is generally no need for the user or administrator to  explicitly
       run  condor_checkpoint  .  Taking checkpoints of running Condor jobs is
       handled  automatically   following   the   policies   stated   in   the
       configuration files.

Options

       -version

          Display version information

       -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 name

          Send the command to a machine identified by name

       name

          Send the command to a machine identified by name

       -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>

       -all

          Send the command to all machines in the pool

Exit Status

       condor_checkpoint  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_checkpoint command to two named machines:

       % condor_checkpoint  robin cardinal

       To send the condor_checkpoint 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_checkpoint -pool condor.cae.wisc.edu -name cae17
