Name

       condor_checkpoint send - a checkpoint command to jobs running on specified hosts

Synopsis

       condor_checkpoint [-help -version]

       condor_checkpoint[-debug]   [-pool   centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]]   [-name  hostnamehostname-addr
       "<a.b.c.d:port>""<a.b.c.d:port>"-constraint expression-all]

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 HTCondor job running on that host, then condor_checkpointhas no effect.

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

Options

       -help

          Display usage information

       -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 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_checkpointwill 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_checkpointcommand to a machine within a pool of machines other than the local pool,
       use the -pooloption. 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 cae17within the pool of machines that has condor.cae.wisc.eduas its central
       manager:

       % condor_checkpoint  -pool condor.cae.wisc.edu -name cae17
