6 condor_master The master HTCondor Daemon
7
9 condor_master
10
12 This daemon is responsible for keeping all the rest of the HTCondor
13 daemons running on each machine in your pool. It spawns the other dae‐
14 mons, and periodically checks to see if there are new binaries
15 installed for any of them. If there are, the condor_master will restart
16 the affected daemons. In addition, if any daemon crashes, the con‐
17 dor_master will send e-mail to the HTCondor Administrator of your pool
18 and restart the daemon. The condor_master also supports various admin‐
19 istrative commands that let you start, stop or reconfigure daemons
20 remotely. The condor_master will run on every machine in your HTCondor
21 pool, regardless of what functions each machine are performing. Addi‐
22 tionally, on Linux platforms, if you start the condor_master as root,
23 it will tune (but never decrease) certain kernel parameters important
24 to HTCondor's performance.
25 The DAEMON_LIST configuration macro is used by the condor_master to
27 provide a per-machine list of daemons that should be started and kept
28 running. For daemons that are specified in the DC_DAEMON_LIST configu‐
29 ration macro, the condor_master daemon will spawn them automatically
30 appending a -f argument. For those listed in DAEMON_LIST , but not in
31 DC_DAEMON_LIST , there will be no -f argument.
