And you really want to use "&&" and not "||" because otherwise the
expression will always evaluate to TRUE.  Of course this does nothing
to keep you from deleting every other job cluster in the queue.

You could use multiple "-constraint" arguments (abbreviation "-c")
which are implicitly AND-ed together:

condor_rm -c ClusterId==5231 -c ProcId!=1 -c ProcId!=6 -c ProcId!=15 -c ProcId!=50 -c ProcId!=300

Which avoids the need to define "ID" and does what I think you want.

Finally, before running "condor_rm", you should run "condor_q":

condor_q -c ClusterId==5231 -c ProcId!=1 -c ProcId!=6 -c ProcId!=15 -c ProcId!=50 -c ProcId!=300

To first see the exact list of jobs that will be removed just in case
you made a mistake.
