condor_off - HTCondor Manual
Shutdown HTCondor daemons
SYNOPSIS
condor_off [-help | -version ]
condor_off [-graceful | -fast | -peaceful | -force-graceful | -drain ] [-annex name]
[-debug[:opts] ] [-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]] [ -name hostname | hostname |
-addr "<a.b.c.d:port>" | "<a.b.c.d:port>" | -constraint expression | -all ] [-daemon
daemonname | -master] [-exec name] [-reason "reason-string"] [-request-id id] [-check
expr] [-start expr]
DESCRIPTION
condor_off shuts down a set of the HTCondor daemons running on a set of one or more
machines. By default, it does this cleanly, so that jobs have time to shut down.
The command condor_off without any arguments will shut down all daemons except
condor_master, unless -annex name is specified. The condor_master can then handle both
local and remote requests to restart the other HTCondor daemons if need be. To restart
HTCondor running on a machine, see the condor_on command.
When the -drain option is chosen, draining options can be specified by using the optional
-reason, -request-id, -check, and -start arguments.
With the -daemon master option, condor_off will shut down all daemons including the
condor_master. Specification using the -daemon option will shut down only the specified
daemon.
When shutting down all daemons including the condor_master, the -exec argument can be used
to tell the master to run a configured MASTER_SHUTDOWN_<Name> script before it exits.
For security reasons of authentication and authorization, this command requires
ADMINISTRATOR level of access.
OPTIONS
-help Display usage information
-version
Display version information
-graceful
The default. If jobs are running, wait for up to the configured grace period for
them to finish, then exit
-fast Quickly shutdown daemons, immediately evicting any running jobs. A minimum of
the first two characters of this option must be specified, to distinguish it
from the -force-graceful command.
-peaceful
Wait indefinitely for jobs to finish
-force-graceful
Force a graceful shutdown, even after issuing a -peaceful command. A minimum of
the first two characters of this option must be specified, to distinguish it
from the -fast command.
-drain Send a condor_drain command with the -exit-on-completion option to all
condor_startd daemons that are managed by this master. Then wait for all
condor_startd daemons to exit before before shutting down other daemons.
-reason "reason-string"
Use with -drain to set a -reason "reason-string" value for the condor_drain
command.
-request-id id
Use with -drain to set a -request-id id value for the condor_drain command.
-check expr
Use with -drain to set a -check expr value for the condor_drain command.
-start expr
Use with -drain to set a -start expr value for the condor_drain command.
-annex name
Turn off master daemons in the specified annex. By default this will result in
the corresponding instances shutting down.
-debug[:opts]
Causes debugging information to be sent to stderr. The debug level can be set by
specifying an optional opts value. Otherwise, the configuration variable
TOOL_DEBUG sets the debug level.
-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
-master
Shutdown the condor_master after shutting down all other daemons.
-exec name
When used with -master, the condor_master will run the program configured as
MASTER_SHUTDOWN_<Name> after shutting down all other daemons.
-daemon daemonname
Send the command to the named daemon. Without this option, the command is sent
to the condor_master daemon.
GRACEFUL VS. PEACEFUL VS FAST
A "fast" shutdown will cause the requested daemon to exit. Jobs running under a startd
that is shutdown fast will be evicted. Jobs running on a schedd that is shutdown fast will
be left running for their job lease duration (default of 20 minutes). (That is, assuming
the corresponding startd is not also being shut down). If that schedd restarts before the
job lease expires, it will reconnect to these running jobs and continue to run them, as
long as the schedd and startd are running.
A "graceful" shutdown of a schedd is functionally the same as a "fast" shutdown of a
schedd.
A "graceful" shutdown of a startd that has jobs running under it causes the startd to wait
for the jobs to exit of their own accord, up to the MaxJobRetirementTime. After the
MaxJobRetirementTime, the startd will evict any remaining running jobs and exit.
A "peaceful" shutdown of a startd or schedd will cause that daemon to wait indefinitely
for all existing jobs to exit before shutting down. During this time, no new jobs will
start.
EXIT STATUS
condor_off will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with
the value 1 (one) upon failure.
EXAMPLES
To shut down all daemons (other than condor_master) on the local host:
$ condor_off
To shut down only the condor_collector on three named machines:
$ condor_off cinnamon cloves vanilla -daemon collector
To shut down daemons 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 shuts down all daemons except the condor_master on the single machine named cae17
within the pool of machines that has condor.cae.wisc.edu as its central manager:
$ condor_off -pool condor.cae.wisc.edu -name cae17
