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.

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.
