## Description

condor\_cold\_stop reliably shuts down and uninstall a running Condor instance. This program first uses condor\_local\_stopto reliably shut down the running Condor instance. It then uses condor\_cleanup\_localto create and store archives of the  log ,  spool , and  execute directories. Its last task is to uninstall the Condor binaries and libraries using cleanup\_release.

## Options

**-artifact file**

-

  Uses fileas the artifact file to determine whether the condor\_masterdaemon is still alive.

-

  **-basedir directory**

-

  Directory where the Condor installation can be found. When not specified, the current working directory is assumed.

-

  **-cleaninstall**

-

  Remove the Condor installation. If none of the options -cleaninstall, -cleanlocal, or -stopare specified, the program behaves as though all of them have been provided.

-

  **-cleanlocal**

-

  The program will remove the  log ,  spool ,  exec directories for this Condor instance. If none of the options -cleaninstall, -cleanlocal, or -stopare specified, the program behaves as though all of them have been provided.

-

  **-configfile file**

-

  The same configuration file path given to condor\_cold\_start. This program assumes the file is in the installation directory or the current working directory.

-

  **-execarchive archive**

-

  The program will create a tar'ed and gzip'ed archive of the  execute directory and stores it as archive. The archivecan be a file path or a grid-ftp url.

-

  **-filelock**

-

  Determine whether the condor\_masterdaemon has exited using a file lock undertaker. This option must match the corresponding option given to condor\_cold\_start.

-

  **-force**

-

  Ignore the status of the condor\_schedddaemon (whether it has jobs in the queue or not) when shutting down Condor.

-

  **-globuslocation directory**

-

  The directory containing the Globus installation. This option is required if any of the options of the form -\*archiveare used, and Globus is not installed in  /opt/globus .

  **-localdir directory**

-

  Directory where the  log ,  spool , and  execute directories are stored for this running instance of Condor. Required if the -cleanlocaloption is specified.

-

  **-logarchive archive**

-

  The program will create a tar'ed and gzip'ed archive of the  log directory and stores it as archive. The archivecan be a file path or a grid-ftp url.

-

  **-nogurl**

-

  Do not use globus-url-copyto store the archives. This implies that the archives can only be stored on mounted file systems.

-

  **-pid**

-

  Determine whether the condor\_masterdaemon has exited using a unique process id undertaker. This option must match the corresponding option given to condor\_cold\_start.

-

  **-runlocalconfig file**

-

  Bind fileinto the configuration used by this instance of Condor. This option should the one provided to condor\_cold\_start.

-

  ## Exit Status

condor\_cold\_stop will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and non-zero otherwise.

## Examples

To shut down a Condor instance on the target machine:

% condor\_cold\_stop  -configfile condor\_config.mobile
