Re: [Condor-users] Pausing the Queue

["Timothy St. Clair" <tstclair@xxxxxxxxxx>]

$ man condor_hold 

-------------------------------------------
Examples
       To place on hold all jobs (of the user that issued the
condor_hold command)  that  are  not  currently running:

       % condor_hold -constraint "JobStatus!=2"

Hope this helps,
Tim
