[HTCondor-users] 'condor_off -peaceful' kills jobs

[Di Qing <dqing@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

From manual of condor_off command, it is mentioned that '-peaceful' 
option wait indefinitely for jobs to finish. However, when I tested 
'condor_off -peaceful' command, it killed jobs immediately. The command 
I used is as follows:

# condor_off -peaceful -daemon startd
Sent "Set-Peaceful-Shutdown" command to local startd
Sent "Kill-Daemon-Peacefully" command to local master

it claimed that it sent peaceful shutdown command, but in fact it killed 
jobs immediately and in startd logs it logged 'shutdown graceful':

The condor version we are using is 8.4.2.

Thanks,
