It should be:

	condor_off -peaceful

In theory that will shut down the machines once all the running jobs
leave. In practice I find if one job takes an incredibly long time to
run new jobs keep getting assigned to the machine and a peaceful point
to shut down is never reached. That's with 6.8.6 (yea, Condor guys, I
know: why don't I tell you about these things? Sometimes it just slips
my mind... :) ).

Hmm...try:

	condor_reconfig -startd -full

But my gut feeling that is that START = False is going to immediately
vacate the running jobs.
