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 com‐
       pile 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  sched‐
       uler.

OPTIONS

       -n netname
              The  name  of the icecream network the daemon should connect to.  There has to be a scheduler run‐
              ning 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 sim‐
              ilar 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.
