[Condor-users] How did I get zombies?

["Froebe, Scott" <froebes@xxxxxxx>]

Title: How did I get zombies?

All,

I have a cluster of 6.6.9 on W2k3.  I have several jobs that were running and we removed (condor_rm), but after removal they stayed as an 'X' in the queue.  An analysis of the queue said they were being removed.  While in this state, the node's they were on were stuck being claimed with idle status.  After leaving it a week I did a condor_rm -forcex.  Now that removed them from the queue, but the nodes are still claimed.  Looking in the schedd log I have this

Zombie process has not been cleaned up by reaper - pid 1300

How can I get the nodes unclaimed?   Later I'll try to figure out how I got into this problem.

thanks,
Scott
