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

[Steven Timm <timm@xxxxxxxx>]

My experience is that it will work if you leave off the
-daemon startd

(at least in 8.0.x and 8.2.x).
Plus you have to be on the host itself.. if you do the command from the
central manager, i.e.

condor_off -peaceful <hostname>

it doesn't work either.

We were recently reminded that there is also the condor_drain command out 
there nowadays which has a slightly different functionality but may
do what you want.
