SYNOPSIS

12       condor_update_machine_ad [-help | -version ]
13
14       condor_update_machine_ad   [-pool  centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]]
15       [-name startdname] path/to/update-ad
16

DESCRIPTION

18       condor_update_machine_ad modifies the specified condor_startd  daemon's
19       machine  ClassAd.  The  ClassAd  in the file given by path/to/update-ad
20       represents the changed attributes. The changes persists until the  con‐
21       dor_startd  restarts. If no file is specified on the command line, con‐
22       dor_update_machine_ad reads the update ClassAd from stdin.
23
24       Contents of the file or stdin must contain  a  complete  ClassAd.  Each
25       line must be terminated by a newline character, including the last line
26       of the file. Lines are of the form
27
28          <attribute> = <value>
29
30       Changes to certain ClassAd attributes will cause the  condor_startd  to
31       regenerate  values  for other ClassAd attributes. An example of this is
32       setting HasVM. This will  cause  OfflineUniverses,  VMOfflineTime,  and
33       VMOfflineReason to change.

GENERAL REMARKS

49       This tool is intended for the use of system administrators when dealing
50       with offline universes.
51

EXAMPLES

53       To  re-enable matching with the VM universe jobs, place on stdin a com‐
54       plete ClassAd (including the ending newline character)  to  change  the
55       value of ClassAd attribute HasVM:
56
57          echo "HasVM = True
58          " | condor_update_machine_ad
59
60       To prevent vm universe jobs from matching with the machine:
61
62          echo "HasVM = False
63          " | condor_update_machine_ad
64
65       To  prevent vm universe jobs from matching with the machine and specify
66       a reason:
67
68          echo "HasVM = False
69          VMOfflineReason = \"Cosmic rays.\"
70          " | condor_update_machine_ad
71
72       Note that the quotes around the reason are required  by  ClassAds,  and
73       they  must  be  escaped  because  of the shell. Using a file instead of
74       stdin may be preferable in these situations,  because  neither  quoting
75       nor escape characters are needed.
76

EXIT STATUS

78       condor_update_machine_ad will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon
79       success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
