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.
