    Hello All,

    I manually set the Autosys agent machine offline and force triggered a job which had same agent machine. But Job ran successfully even after agent machine are offline. Could you please help me on this scenario.

    When you force start you are telling the job to run regardless.

    But without machine status online how can this run. It should come in PEND_MACH status?

    no it shouldn't. force start means run no matter what. It's a nuke. it disregards then checks to connect to the machine. since the agent is actually up. it will run it. 

    FORCE_START always behaves this way.
