[HTCondor-users] condor_drain query

[Thomas Birkett - STFC UKRI <thomas.birkett@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Condor community,

 

I’ve recently started experimenting with the `condor_drain` command and found that the drain status does not persist across startd restarts or node reboots. Previously we have achieved the desired behaviour by setting a ClassAd ( `StartJobs = false` ) as part of the `START` _expression_. Is there a way `condor_drain` or similar command can achieve a drain and persist it even if the workernode is rebooted?

 

Many thanks,
