Re: [HTCondor-users] Halting a Dagman

[Cole Bollig <cabollig@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stefano,

As Todd stated, the halt/resume options for the HTCondor noun verb tool were added in v24.8.1 of HTCondor and are not available for the LTS series. All of the options for the DAG noun only work for DAGs placed to run under an AP. If you do truly want to halt a DAGMan process ran by hand you could create a file in the DAG working directory called <DAG file>.halt for example if you executed DAG file sample.dag then you would touch a file called sample.dag.halt.

The question aside, I am curious as why or what use case you have for executing a DAG manually rather than placing the DAG to execute under the AP?

Cheers,

Cole Bollig

         `htcondor dag halt` is a new command as of 24.8.1.
