Also Startds can be configured to write a history file (STARTD_HISTORY, read by condor_history) or each job that runs can be left in a STARTD_PER_JOB_HISTORY_DIR. You'll have to collect yourself though.

Hmmm, I'm surprised it is so difficult to get this information about flocked-in jobs.
Is it intentionally so that flocked-in jobs are not stored in the history files of a condor master? Or is it "not yet implemented"? 

In order to keep track of the master's full history and possibly keep track of who did what on the condor pool, it would be better if the condor master would keep ALL its processed jobs in its history data base, including the ones that were flocked-in from another condor system.....
