	As far as I know, condor_drain does not move jobs to other 
machines; they get evicted and rescheduled.

	If you want the schedd to shut off immediately, you can add the 
-fast flag to condor_off.  However, we don't support moving jobs from one 
schedd to another.  We generally recommend that schedds are permanent, 
unless they're dedicate to the single user who controls if they're up or 
down.
