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 name ][ -addr <a.b.c.d:port>
] ... [ -all ]
Description
condor_vacate causes Condor 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) -graceful option, a job running under the standard
universe will first produce a checkpoint and then the job will be
killed. Condor 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 Condor restarts the job from the
beginning somewhere else. condor_vacate has no effect on a machine
with no Condor job currently running.
There is generally no need for the user or administrator to explicitly
run condor_vacate . Condor takes care of jobs in this way automatically
following the policies given in configuration files.

-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

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
