Did you do a condor_reconfig after you changed it?

They are considered idle if they are not running a Condor job.

Look at the -format option in the condor_status and condor_q descriptions:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.7/condor_status.html
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.7/condor_q.html

Format is better described in the condor_q description, but it works 
identically for condor_status.

Only if you use the hawkeye extensions.

You can add custom attributes to you job ClassAd in your submit file by 
doing sonmething like

+Attribute = 30
+Attribute2 = "alain"

A job can have custom attributes by doing two things in the config file:

1) Add the attribute by doing something like:

SHOE_SIZE = 7
COLOR = "RED"

2) Tell Condor you want them published:

STARTD_EXPRS = SHOE_SIZE,COLOR

If you use -format, yes.
