condor_ rm

remove jobs from the Condor queue

Synopsis

condor_ rm [-help | -version]

condor_ rm [-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]] [-name hostname | -addr "<a.b.c.d:port>" ] cluster... | cluster.process... | user... | -constraint expression ...

condor_ rm [-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]] [-name hostname | -addr "<a.b.c.d:port>" ] -all

Description

condor_ rm removes one or more jobs from the Condor job queue. If the -name option is specified, the named condor_ schedd is targeted for processing. Otherwise, the local condor_ schedd is targeted. The jobs to be removed are identified by one or more job identifiers, as described below. For any given job, only the owner of the job or one of the queue super users (defined by the QUEUE_SUPER_USERS macro) can remove the job.

Options

-help

Display usage information

-version

Display version information

-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]

-name hostname

Send the command to a machine identified by hostname

-addr "<a.b.c.d:port>"

Send the command to a machine located at "<a.b.c.d:port>"

cluster

Remove all jobs in the specified cluster

cluster.process

Remove the specific job in the cluster

user

Remove jobs belonging to specified user

-constraint expression

Remove all jobs which match the job ClassAd expression constraint

-all

Remove all the jobs in the queue

-forcex

Force the immediate local removal of jobs in the 'X' state (only affects jobs already being removed)

General Remarks

When removing a PVM universe job, you should always remove the entire job cluster. (In the PVM universe, each PVM job is assigned its own cluster number, and each machine class is assigned a ``process'' number in the job's cluster.) Removing a subset of the machine classes for a PVM job is not supported.

Use the -forcex argument with caution, as it will remove jobs from the local queue immediately, but can ``orphan'' parts of the job that are running remotely and haven't yet been stopped or removed.

Examples

To remove all jobs of a user named Mary that are not currently running:

% condor_rm Mary -constraint Activity!=\"Busy\"

Note that quotation marks must be escaped with the backslash characters for most shells.

Exit Status

condor_ rm will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
