Description

12       condor_preen  examines  the  directories  belonging  to  HTCondor,  and
13       removes extraneous files and directories which may be  left  over  from
14       HTCondor  processes  which terminated abnormally either due to internal
15       errors or a system crash. The directories checked are the  LOG ,   EXE‐
16       CUTE  , and  SPOOL directories as defined in the HTCondor configuration
17       files.  condor_preen is intended to be run as user  root or user   con‐
18       dor  periodically  as  a backup method to ensure reasonable file system
19       cleanliness in the face  of  errors.  This  is  done  automatically  by
20       default  by the condor_master daemon. It may also be explicitly invoked
21       on an as needed basis.
22
23       When condor_preen cleans the  SPOOL directory, it always leaves  behind
24       the  files  specified in the configuration variables  VALID_SPOOL_FILES
25       and  SYSTEM_VALID_SPOOL_FILES , as given by the configuration. For  the
26       LOG  directory,  the  only  files  removed or reported are those listed
27       within the configuration variable  INVALID_LOG_FILES list.  The  reason
28       for  this  difference is that, in general, the files in the  LOG direc‐
29       tory ought to be left alone, with few exceptions. An example of  excep‐
30       tions  are core files. As there are new log files introduced regularly,
31       it is less effort to specify those that ought to be removed than  those
32       that are not to be removed.
