NAME

       iceccd - Icecream daemon

SYNOPSIS

       iceccd [ -n netname ] [ -m max_processes ] [ --no-remote ] [ -w ] [ -d | --daemonize ] [
              -l logfile ] [ -s schedulerhost ] [ -v[v[v]] ] [ -r | --run-as-user ] [ -b env-
              basedir ] [ -u | --nobody-uid | nobodyuid] [ --cache-limit MB ] [ -N hostname ]

DESCRIPTION

       The Icecream daemon has to run on all nodes being part of the Icecream compile cluster. It
       receives compile jobs and executes them in a chroot environment. The compile clients  send
       their  compile  environment the first time they send a job to a particular daemon, so that
       the environment of the daemon doesn't have to match the one of the client.

       The daemon also has to run on clients sending compile jobs to the Icecream network.  If  a
       node should be able to send compile jobs, but never receive any, start the daemon with the
       option -m 0.

       All Icecream daemons need to have contact to the Icecream  scheduler  which  controls  the
       distribution  of  data  between compile nodes. Normally the daemon will automatically find
       the right scheduler. If this is not the case you can explicitly specify the  name  of  the
       Icecream network and the host running the scheduler.

OPTIONS

       -n netname
              The  name  of the icecream network the daemon should connect to.  There has to be a
              scheduler running for the network under the same network name.

       -m max_processes
              Maximum number of compile jobs started in parallel on machine running the daemon.

       --no-remote
              Prevents jobs from other nodes being scheduled on this one.

       -w

       -d, --daemonize
              Detach daemon from shell.

       -l logfile
              Name of file where log output is written to.

       -s scheduler_host
              Name of host running the scheduler for the network the daemon  should  connect  to.
              This option might help if the scheduler can't broadcast its presence to the clients
              due to firewall settings or similar reasons.

       -v, -vv, -vvv
              Control verbosity of daemon. The more v the more verbose.

       -r, --run-as-user
              Force running the daemon with user rights. Usually you will need to run the  daemon
              with root rights.

       -b env_basedir
              Base  directory  for storing compile environments sent to the daemon by the compile
              clients.

       -u, --nobody-uid nobodyuid
              Id of user nobody. This user id is used when the daemon is dropping privileges.

       --cache-limit MB
              Maximum size in Mega Bytes of cache used to store compile environments  of  compile
              clients.

       -N hostname
              The name of the icecream host on the network.
