put jobs in the queue in hold state

Synopsis

condor_hold [-help | -version] [-pool centralmanagerhostname | -name hostname | -addr "<a.b.c.d:port>" | hostname ...] [-master | -startd | -schedd | -collector | -negotiator | -kbdd] [job identifiers]

   

Description

condor_hold places one or more jobs from the Condor job queue in hold state. If the -name option is specified, the named condor_schedd is targeted for processing. Otherwise, the local condor_schedd is targeted. The jobs to be held are identified by one or more job identifiers, as described below. For any given job, only the owner of the job or one of the queue super users (defined by the QUEUE_SUPER_USERS macro) can place the job on hold.

General Remarks

To put a PVM universe job on hold, you must put each ``process'' in the PVM job cluster on hold. (In the PVM universe, each PVM job is assigned its own cluster number, and each machine class is assigned a ``process'' number in the job's cluster.) Putting a subset of the machine classes for a PVM job on hold is not supported.

Exit Status

condor_hold will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
