Synopsis

9       condor_preen [ -mail ] [ -remove ] [ -verbose ]

Description

12       condor_preen  examines the directories belonging to Condor, and removes
13       extraneous files and directories which may be  left  over  from  Condor
14       processes  which terminated abnormally either due to internal errors or
15       a system crash. The directories  checked  are  the  LOG,  EXECUTE,  and
16       SPOOLdirectories  as  defined  in the Condor configuration files.  con‐
17       dor_preen is intended to be run as user rootor user  condorperiodically
18       as  a backup method to ensure reasonable file system cleanliness in the
19       face of errors. This is done  automatically  by  default  by  the  con‐
20       dor_master  daemon.  It  may also be explicitly invoked on an as needed
21       basis.
22
23       When condor_preen cleans the SPOOLdirectory, it  always  leaves  behind
24       the  files  specified in the configuration variable VALID_SPOOL_FILESas
25       given by the  configuration.  For  the  LOGdirectory,  the  only  files
26       removed  or reported are those listed within the configuration variable
27       INVALID_LOG_FILESlist. The reason for this difference is that, in  gen‐
28       eral,  the  files  in the LOGdirectory ought to be left alone, with few
29       exceptions. An example of exceptions are core files. As there  are  new
30       log files introduced regularly, it is less effort to specify those that
31       ought to be removed than those that are not to be removed.
