DESCRIPTION

16       The Icecream daemon has to run on all nodes being part of the  Icecream
17       compile cluster. It receives compile jobs and executes them in a chroot
18       environment. The compile clients send  their  compile  environment  the
19       first time they send a job to a particular daemon, so that the environ‐
20       ment of the daemon doesn't have to match the one of the client.
21
22
23       The daemon also has to run on clients sending compile jobs to the  Ice‐
24       cream network. If a node should be able to send compile jobs, but never
25       receive any, start the daemon with the option -m 0.
26
27
28       All Icecream daemons need to have contact  to  the  Icecream  scheduler
29       which controls the distribution of data between compile nodes. Normally
30       the daemon will automatically find the right scheduler. If this is  not
31       the  case  you  can explicitly specify the name of the Icecream network
32       and the host running the scheduler.

OPTIONS

36       -n netname
37              The name of the icecream network the daemon should  connect  to.
38              There  has  to  be a scheduler running for the network under the
39              same network name.
40
41
42       -m max_processes
43              Maximum number of compile jobs started in  parallel  on  machine
44              running the daemon.
45
46
47       --no-remote
48              Prevents jobs from other nodes being scheduled on this one.
49
50
51       -w
52
53
54
55       -d, --daemonize
56              Detach daemon from shell.
57
58
59       -l logfile
60              Name of file where log output is written to.
61
62
63       -s scheduler_host
64              Name  of  host  running the scheduler for the network the daemon
65              should connect to. This option might help if the scheduler can't
66              broadcast  its  presence to the clients due to firewall settings
67              or similar reasons.
68
69
70       -v, -vv, -vvv
71              Control verbosity of daemon. The more v the more verbose.
72
73
74       -r, --run-as-user
75              Force running the daemon with user rights. Usually you will need
76              to run the daemon with root rights.
77
78
79       -b env_basedir
80              Base directory for storing compile environments sent to the dae‐
81              mon by the compile clients.
82
83
84       -u, --nobody-uid nobodyuid
85              Id of user nobody. This user id is used when the daemon is drop‐
86              ping privileges.
87
88
89       --cache-limit MB
90              Maximum  size in Mega Bytes of cache used to store compile envi‐
91              ronments of compile clients.
92
93
94       -N hostname
95              The name of the icecream host on the network.
