condor_preen
condor_preen(1) General Commands Manual condor_preen(1)
Name
condor_preen remove - extraneous files from Condor directories
Synopsis
condor_preen [-mail] [-remove] [-verbose]
Description
condor_preenexamines the directories belonging to Condor, and removes extraneous files and directories which may be left over from Condor
processes which terminated abnormally either due to internal errors or a system crash. The directories checked are the LOG , EXECUTE ,
and SPOOL directories as defined in the Condor configuration files. condor_preenis intended to be run as user root or user condor peri-
odically as a backup method to ensure reasonable file system cleanliness in the face of errors. This is done automatically by default by
the condor_masterdaemon. It may also be explicitly invoked on an as needed basis.
When condor_preencleans the SPOOL directory, it always leaves behind the files specified in the configuration variable VALID_SPOOL_FILES
as given by the configuration. For the LOG directory, the only files removed or reported are those listed within the configuration vari-
able INVALID_LOG_FILES list. The reason for this difference is that, in general, the files in the LOG directory ought to be left alone,
with few exceptions. An example of exceptions are core files. As there are new log files introduced regularly, it is less effort to specify
those that ought to be removed than those that are not to be removed.
Options
-mail
Send mail to the user defined in the PREEN_ADMIN configuration variable, instead of writing to the standard output.
-remove
Remove the offending files and directories rather than reporting on them.
-verbose
List all files found in the Condor directories, even those which are not considered extraneous.
Exit Status
condor_preenwill exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
