Synopsis

9       condor_master
10

Description

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_masterwill  restart
16       the  affected  daemons.  In  addition,  if any daemon crashes, the con‐
17       dor_masterwill send e-mail to the HTCondor Administrator of  your  pool
18       and restart the daemon. The condor_masteralso supports various adminis‐
19       trative commands that  let  you  start,  stop  or  reconfigure  daemons
20       remotely.  The  condor_masterwill 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_masteras root, it
23       will tune (but never decrease) certain kernel parameters  important  to
24       HTCondor's performance.
25
26       The  DAEMON_LISTconfiguration macro is used by the condor_masterto pro‐
27       vide a per-machine list of daemons that should be started and kept run‐
28       ning. For daemons that are specified in the DC_DAEMON_LISTconfiguration
29       macro, the condor_masterdaemon will spawn them automatically  appending
30       a  -fargument.  For  those  listed  in  DAEMON_LIST, but not in DC_DAE‐
31       MON_LIST, there will be no -fargument.
