Removing Jobs

When using the Condor cluster, you can query your condor jobs as so:

user@patas:~$ condor_q user


-- Submitter: patas.ling.washington.edu : <192.168.100.50:50435> : patas.ling.washington.edu

122056.3   user        1/19 13:25   0+00:00:01 H  0   0.0  script.sh        

4 jobs; 0 completed, 0 removed, 0 idle, 0 running, 4 held, 0 suspended

Where user is your UW netid. When you have jobs that are Held (JobStatus (ST) == H) or otherwise not working, you can remove all of your user jobs with:

condor_rm user

To remove all of your jobs that are held or suspended, you can use:

condor_rm -constraint "JobStatus == 5 || JobStatus == 6"

Where JobStatus code 5 is Held and code 6 is suspended.

Removing Jobs Automatically on Logout

To remove held and suspended jobs automatically, add the previous line to your bash logout script at ~/.bash_logout:

~/.bash_logout

condor_rm -constraint "JobStatus == 5 || JobStatus == 6"

You can add &> /dev/null to the end of this script to suppress the status message on logout.
