Re: [HTCondor-users] Drain HTCondor worker by setting instance metadata value

[Bob Ball <ball@xxxxxxxxx>]

If all you want to do is let all running jobs finish, and not start any others, then just do
condor_off -peaceful -daemon startd -name <machine_name>
From wherever that command is allowed to run, eg, the machine where the collector/negotiator are running.

If you want to configure things so preemption of a job is only delayed
in the case of draining, but you still want the job to be immediately
preempted in the case of user priority/rank/preempt _expression_ ...

Dunno about OP but my use case is very simple: I don't want to preempt
period. I just want all running ones to finish, then I want to install
the new kernel/libc/whatever and reboot.

I'm sure the above is great for whoever needs it, but to me it looks
like way too many knobs for something that should be dead simple:
temporarily set START to false without having to hand-edit the config
file. Twice.
