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.
