Name

       condor_master The - master HTCondor Daemon

Synopsis

       condor_master

Description

       This  daemon  is  responsible for keeping all the rest of the HTCondor daemons running on each machine in
       your pool. It spawns the other daemons, and  periodically  checks  to  see  if  there  are  new  binaries
       installed for any of them. If there are, the condor_masterwill restart the affected daemons. In addition,
       if  any  daemon crashes, the condor_masterwill send e-mail to the HTCondor Administrator of your pool and
       restart the daemon. The condor_masteralso supports various administrative commands that  let  you  start,
       stop  or  reconfigure daemons remotely. The condor_masterwill run on every machine in your HTCondor pool,
       regardless of what functions each machine are performing. Additionally, on Linux platforms, if you  start
       the  condor_masteras  root,  it  will  tune  (but  never decrease) certain kernel parameters important to
       HTCondor's performance.

       The DAEMON_LISTconfiguration macro is used by the condor_masterto provide a per-machine list  of  daemons
       that    should   be   started   and   kept   running.   For   daemons   that   are   specified   in   the
       DC_DAEMON_LISTconfiguration macro, the condor_masterdaemon will  spawn  them  automatically  appending  a
       -fargument. For those listed in DAEMON_LIST, but not in DC_DAEMON_LIST, there will be no -fargument.
