NAME

       sge_qmaster - Sun Grid Engine master control daemon

SYNOPSIS

       sge_qmaster [ -help ]

DESCRIPTION

       sge_qmaster controls the overall Sun Grid Engine behavior in a cluster.

OPTIONS

       -help  Prints  a listing of all options.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

       SGE_ROOT       Specifies the location of the Sun Grid Engine standard configuration files.

       SGE_CELL       If  set,  specifies the default Sun Grid Engine cell. To address a Sun Grid
                      Engine cell sge_qmaster uses (in the order of precedence):

                             The name of the cell specified in the environment variable SGE_CELL,
                             if it is set.

                             The name of the default cell, i.e. default.

       SGE_DEBUG_LEVEL
                      If  set,  specifies  that debug information should be written to stderr. In
                      addition the level of detail in which debug  information  is  generated  is
                      defined.

       SGE_QMASTER_PORT
                      If  set,  specifies  the  tcp  port  on which sge_qmaster(8) is expected to
                      listen for communication requests.  Most installations will use a  services
                      map entry for the service "sge_qmaster" instead to define that port.

       SGE_EXECD_PORT If  set, specifies the tcp port on which sge_execd(8) is expected to listen
                      for communication requests.  Most installations will  use  a  services  map
                      entry for the service "sge_execd" instead to define that port.

RESTRICTIONS

       sge_qmaster  is  usually  started from root on the master or shadow master machines of the
       cluster (refer to the Sun Grid Engine  Installation  and  Administration  Guide  for  more
       information about the configuration of shadow master hosts).  If started by a normal user,
       a master spool directory must be used to which the user has  read/write  access.  In  this
       case only jobs being submitted by that same user are handled correctly by the system.
