I was trying to do exactly the same thing as Andrew has asked about. I
tried:

condor_off -graceful -name <machine1> [<machine2>...]

It did remove schedd and startd on the remote machines. However, when
condor_startd was removed, the running job was also removed immediately.
(I am running Condor 6.6.5) I was hoping that I could keep the job
running until finished but not to take any more new jobs. Any advice?

Thanks.
