Re: [Condor-users] deny jobs, but letting the que run.

["Kewley, J \(John\)" <j.kewley@xxxxxxxx>]

I could be wrong, but I think that will kill the schedds; jobs already

running will run to completion; but jobs in queue that haven't started

will not start.

 

Maybe "-peaceful" could be added too, that might help

 

Sorry I am a bit imprecise on this.

PS you could always find a machine with no jobs in the queue,

submit some jobs and then do the condor_off on it, that would tell

you if it works as you intend or not.

 

PPS I remember using condor_off once, and then realising that I couldn't

do condor_on to reverse it - be careful.

Hello Condor user.


I am administering a smallish condor cluster here and I am upgrading it from 6.8.5 to 6.8.7 Everything seems fine so far. I need to create a service window where I can start up the new version. One of the users currently have  a few hundred jobs in que. I want to let all of these jobs run, but deny any more jobs started until I can finish the upgrade? Is there a easy way to fix this? All of the computers are now allowed to submit jobs. I would be happy to not have to go onto each explicit deny logon. Is there something I can do to the master? I'm sure this is covered somewhere in the manual just that I can not see it.


I am pretty new to condor so please bear with me :)


Best Regards

Bjørn Dyresen.

condor_off -all -schedd

Is this what I am looking for?
