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_LIST configuration 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_LIST
       configuration  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.

Options
