Description
condor_rm removes one or more jobs from the Condor job queue. If the
-name option is specified, the named condor_schedd is targeted for
processing. Otherwise, the local condor_schedd is targeted. The jobs to
be removed are identified by one or more job identifiers, as described
below. For any given job, only the owner of the job or one of the queue
super users (defined by the QUEUE_SUPER_USERSmacro) can remove the job.
When removing a grid job, the job may remain in the ‘‘X’’ state for a
very long time. This is normal, as Condor is attempting to communicate
with the remote scheduling system, ensuring that the job has been
properly cleaned up. If it takes too long, or in rare circumstances is
never removed, the job may be forced to leave the job queue by using
the -forcex option. This forcibly removes jobs that are in the ‘‘X’’
state without attempting to finish any clean up at the remote
scheduler.
Options
-help
Display usage information
-version
Display version information
-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]
Specify a pool by giving the central manager’s host name and an
optional port number
-name scheddname
Send the command to a machine identified by scheddname
-addr <a.b.c.d:port>
Send the command to a machine located at <a.b.c.d:port>
-debug
Causes debugging information to be sent to stderr, based on the
value of the configuration variable TOOL_DEBUG
-forcex
Force the immediate local removal of jobs in the ’X’ state (only
affects jobs already being removed)
cluster
Remove all jobs in the specified cluster
cluster.process
Remove the specific job in the cluster
user
Remove jobs belonging to specified user
-constraint expression
Remove all jobs which match the job ClassAd expression constraint
-all
Remove all the jobs in the queue
General Remarks
Use the -forcex argument with caution, as it will remove jobs from the
local queue immediately, but can ‘‘orphan’’ parts of the job that are
running remotely and haven’t yet been stopped or removed.
Examples
To remove all jobs of a user named Mary that are not currently running:
% condor_rm Mary -constraint Activity!=
Note that quotation marks must be escaped with the backslash characters
for most shells.
Exit Status
condor_rm will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and
it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
