sge_qmaster

sge_qmaster [ -help ]

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

-help

Prints a listing of all options.

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):

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.

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.
