Setting LeaveJobInQueue to True will keep the job in the queue (until  
it's set to false). Also, you can use condor_history to look at jobs  
that have left the queue.

It sounds like what you really want is to modify the DAG as it  
executes (to remove these queued nodes). DAGMan doesn't support this.

If you want to get *really* kludgey, you could use condor_qedit to  
change the job universe to scheduler and the executable to /bin/true.  
I can't think of anything better.
