Synopsis
condor_on [-help -version]
condor_on[-debug] [-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]] [-name hostnamehostname-addr
"<a.b.c.d:port>""<a.b.c.d:port>"-constraint expression-all] [-daemon daemonname]
Description
condor_onstarts up a set of the HTCondor daemons on a set of machines. This command assumes that the
condor_masteris already running on the machine. If this is not the case, condor_onwill fail complaining
that it cannot find the address of the master. The command condor_onwith no arguments or with the -daemon
masteroption will tell the condor_masterto start up the HTCondor daemons specified in the configuration
variable DAEMON_LIST . If a daemon other than the condor_masteris specified with the -daemonoption,
condor_onstarts up only that daemon.
This command cannot be used to start up the condor_masterdaemon.
For security reasons of authentication and authorization, this command requires ADMINISTRATOR level of
access.

on the local host:
% condor_on
To start up only the condor_negotiatoron two named machines:
% condor_on robin cardinal -daemon negotiator
