If I said:

leave_in_queue = True

The all my completed jobs would show when I did condor_q, but with a
state of "C". Is that statement correct? So I would need to manually
clear the queue when the cluster was complete by running "condor_rm
-const JobStatus==4". Is that correct? This could actually be kind
useful...
