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.

FILES

       <sge_root>/<cell>/common/configuration
                       Sun Grid Engine global configuration
