       condor_ping - HTCondor Manual

       Attempt a security negotiation to determine if it succeeds

SYNOPSIS

       condor_ping [-help | -version ]

       condor_ping  [-debug  ] [-address <a.b.c.d:port>] [-pool host name] [-name daemon name] [-type subsystem]
       [-config filename] [-quiet | -table | -verbose | -long | -format | -af ] token [token [...] ]

DESCRIPTION

       condor_ping attempts a security negotiation to discover whether the configuration is set  such  that  the
       negotiation  succeeds.  The  target of the negotiation is defined by one or a combination of the address,
       pool, name, or type options. If no target is specified, the default target is the condor_schedd daemon on
       the local machine.

       One or more token s may be listed, thereby specifying one or more authorization level to  impersonate  in
       security  negotiation.  A  token is the value ALL, an authorization level, a command name, or the integer
       value of a command. The many command names and their associated integer values will more likely  be  used
       by experts, and they are defined in the file condor_includes/condor_commands.h.

       An  authorization  level  may  be  one  of  the  following strings. If ALL is listed, then negotiation is
       attempted for each of these possible authorization  levels.   Note  that  OWNER  is  no  longer  used  in
       HTCondor, but is kept here for use when talking to older daemons (prior to 9.9.0).

OPTIONS

          -help  Display usage information

          -version
                 Display version information

          -debug Print extra debugging information as the command executes.

          -config filename
                 Attempt the negotiation based on the contents  of  the  configuration  file  contents  in  file
                 filename.

          -address <a.b.c.d:port>
                 Target the given IP address with the negotiation attempt.

          -pool hostname
                 Target the given host with the negotiation attempt. May be combined with specifications defined
                 by name and type options.

          -name daemonname
                 Target the daemon given by daemonname with the negotiation attempt.

          -type subsystem
                 Target  the  daemon  identified  by subsystem, one of the values of the predefined $(SUBSYSTEM)
                 macro.

          -quiet Set exit status only; no output displayed.

          -table Output is displayed with one result per line, in a table format.

          -verbose
                 Display all available output.

          -long  Display result classads.

          -format fmt attr
                 (Custom option) Display attribute or expression attr in format fmt. To display the attribute or
                 expression the format must contain a single printf(3)-style conversion  specifier.   Attributes
                 must  be  from  the  resource  ClassAd.  Expressions  are  ClassAd expressions and may refer to
                 attributes in the resource ClassAd. If the attribute is not present  in  a  given  ClassAd  and
                 cannot  be  parsed as an expression, then the format option will be silently skipped. %r prints
                 the unevaluated, or raw values. The conversion specifier must match the type of  the  attribute
                 or  expression. %s is suitable for strings such as Name, %d for integers such as LastHeardFrom,
                 and %f for floating point numbers such as LoadAvg. %v identifies the type of the attribute, and
                 then prints the value in an appropriate format. %V identifies the type of  the  attribute,  and
                 then  prints  the  value in an appropriate format as it would appear in the -long format. As an
                 example, strings used with %V will have  quote  marks.  An  incorrect  format  will  result  in
                 undefined  behavior. Do not use more than one conversion specifier in a given format. More than
                 one conversion specifier will result in  undefined  behavior.  To  output  multiple  attributes
                 repeat  the  -format  option once for each desired attribute. Like printf(3)-style formats, one
                 may include other text that will be  reproduced  directly.  A  format  without  any  conversion
                 specifiers  may  be specified, but an attribute is still required. Include a backslash followed
                 by an 'n' to specify a line break.

          -autoformat[:lhVr,tng] attr1 [attr2 ...] or -af[:lhVr,tng] attr1 [attr2 ...]
                 (Output option) Display attribute(s) or expression(s) formatted in a default way  according  to
                 attribute  types.  This  option  takes an arbitrary number of attribute names as arguments, and
                 prints out their values, with a space between each value and a newline character after the last
                 value. It is like the -format option without format strings. This output option does  not  work
                 in conjunction with the -run option.

                 It  is  assumed that no attribute names begin with a dash character, so that the next word that
                 begins with dash is the start of the next option. The autoformat option may be  followed  by  a
                 colon character and formatting qualifiers to deviate the output formatting from the default:

                 l label each field,

                 h print column headings before the first line of output,

                 V use %V rather than %v for formatting (string values are quoted),

                 r print "raw", or unevaluated values,

                 , add a comma character after each field,

                 t add a tab character before each field instead of the default space character,

                 n add a newline character after each field,

                 g add a newline character between ClassAds, and suppress spaces before each field.

                 Use -af:h to get tabular values with headings.

                 Use -af:lrng to get -long equivalent format.

                 The  newline  and  comma characters may not be used together. The l and h characters may not be
                 used together.

EXAMPLES

       The example Unix command

          $ condor_ping  -address "<127.0.0.1:9618>" -table READ WRITE DAEMON

       places double quote marks around the sinful string  to  prevent  the  less  than  and  the  greater  than
       characters from causing redirect of input and output. The given IP address is targeted with 3 attempts to
       negotiate:  one  at  the  READ  authorization level, one at the WRITE authorization level, and one at the
       DAEMON authorization level.

EXIT STATUS

       condor_ping will exit with the status value of the negotiation it attempted,  where  0  (zero)  indicates
       success, and 1 (one) indicates failure. If multiple security negotiations were attempted, the exit status
       will be the logical OR of all values.
